It's no secret that I'm a bit of a fan of Clarks shoes for kids, as you know from my visit to their SS15 press show I was totally blown away by the new funky ranges they are bringing out. So it was no surprise that as soon as I saw these Full Pulse Megalights that I would want to get my hands on a pair for F.
Think me, who loves the 80's – ahem – and hi-tops for kids and you have a match made in heaven. Although the Clarks Megalights range is based on their iconic 1997 basketball boot style Full Glare and is not quite the 80's blast from the past, as soon as I saw the design with its acid highlights, print detailing and chunky neon laces, I knew they would stand out and that's not even the best part!
So imagine F in Clarks having a fitting, already excited that he can use the side zips himself to get them off and on, plus the additional fun of the chunky velcro strap, then imagine him running up and down the shop to show off his Cheetara skills *Thundercats reference right there* and then hearing the three words that's guaranteed to make kids go crazy with excitement:
They.
Light.
Up.
Yep not only do these sneakers look cool but get them in a dark room and you're ready to party! By day, blink and you'll miss it, but as the sun sets the 360 degree light up sole streaks across the dark with its three settings: constant, pulse or flash.
So does F love these sneakers? YES. Did he make us come home and immediately want to start partying in the darkness of our lounge. YES. Did he refuse to take them off and ask to wear them to bed? YES, but thankfully I managed to peel them off him.
Need to find a super cool Christmas present for your kiddo? Pretty sure you've just found them.
*Our Megalights were c/o Clarks. All opinions and love for the 80's are 100% my own.

Wow these are awesome!! I thought the only light up shoes were those really horrid looking white trainers! x
ReplyDeleteThose are seriously flashy shoes!
ReplyDeleteOh my word how cool are they my son would love them.
ReplyDeleteLove the 80s too! And these shoes are great - wonder what size they go up to (my son has big feet!)
ReplyDeleteNice shoes!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite local shoe shop is a Clarks. I am always in there. Those sneakers are cool I can't imagine any kid not loving them.
ReplyDeleteThese are really funky. Austin also has some light-ups from Clarks. They look like sensible old school shoes, but have a flashing light in each heel - which can be turned off, in case the teachers don't like it! They're fab.
ReplyDeleteooh I am loving the lighting up on them
ReplyDeleteOh wow these look like loads of fun and I am a huge fan of mid-tops! Perfect for boys
