Sonic's Sneakers

Sonic's Sneakers are objects that appear in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is a unique pair of shoes worn by Sonic the Hedgehog, specially designed to resist the friction from his super speed.

Appearance
Sonic's Sneakers are a pair of smooth red shoes with pointed toes, white sock-like cuffs and a white strap over the middle. Originally, they had no soles, being completely red on the bottom. After getting hit by a time-beam and the energy of a Super Emerald, Sonic's Sneakers gained gold buckles on the sides and grey soles.

Powers and traits
Being made from Power Ring energy, Sonic's Sneakers are hyper friction proofed, meaning they will never wear out. This is useful to Sonic as his speed would quickly burn through any other pair of shoes.

History
Because Sonic kept burning through the rubber soles on any of his shoes due to his speed, his uncle Sir Charles Hedgehog created his unique Sneakers from the energy of Power Rings which could never be worn down. These sneakers would go to become Sonic's iconic footwear.

Sonic's sneakers were once stolen by a SWATbot and replaced with special energy-draining shoes. This resulted in Sonic losing his great speed and a bit of his life force. When Tails returned Sonic's original shoes, his speed instantly returned.

When Sonic diverted a time-beam with a Super Emerald, Sonic got exposed to the Super Emerald's energies when the beam hit him instead. The resulting energy burst not only changed Sonic's appearance, but also caused his sneakers as well.
