It is a joke, an "Easter egg" for the pain all LEGO fans (and their families) share of stepping bare-footed onto whatever brick has obscured itself on our floors. It would be just as unpleasant of a surprise if you found a 2 x 3 hiding in your shoe.<br /><br />This red brick hides in the Superstar via 2 SNOT bricks with their extra studs facing upward in the insole. The exploded inner photos show how this bringer of pain is connected at an angle. Yanking that sucker off those two hollow studs is easy if you prefer your sneaker sculptures joke-less.Zachary Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04080820742830637643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-29687489609072809702021-06-16T02:18:01.936+01:002021-06-16T02:18:01.936+01:00So why is there a random red 2x3 brick in the sole...So why is there a random red 2x3 brick in the sole? Is it meant to be a joke reference to stepping on lego? The way it's angled doesn't appear to be for structural support.Jeffrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095606792470474166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276033407505619194.post-57079548727586467582021-06-15T18:38:33.993+01:002021-06-15T18:38:33.993+01:00Take those bay doors and make l o n g s h o e.

As skeptical as AFOLs are of a set like this, I imagine this could be popular with "sneakerheads", especially given the potential for customization.<br /><br />The new 5x5 quarter domes will probably pair well with the bay doors from the 18+ Space Shuttle from earlier this year.Andrew Barnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723179808721244651noreply@blogger.com
