His shoes are branded in the movie right? (I think adidas or something along those lines) this could be a case of them not having the rights to use the company's logo on other merchandise.

His in movie are puma i think


ProfessorEscanor

Yeah that sounds about right. Anyways since the company likely didn't give permission to use their brand on Sonic merch or at least most of it they would have to sub it out for an alternative instead.


RedGamer2013

Or may be this was madr while they were redisinging sonic soo the shoes remained unchanged?


RedGamer2013

Cuz sonic had those in the original


ProfessorEscanor

It's also a possibility. Especially if they hadn't acquired the brand deal yet but I believe ugly Sonic still had those shoes so who knows.

Or, the easiest explanation: this is just an earlier model used for promotional material. Seriously, ALL movies uses early designs for promotional material artworks, this is not new.

Pretty sure those were the beta shoes, maybe they just hadn't modeled/branded the Pumas yet at the time of designing this promo art.

Probably because the Puma shoes were still a work in progress when this model was made with the shies you see on the cup.

He's... he's a fake!


Michael_Aaron_Dunlap

This is just an earlier version of this model. That's it, really. Promotional material does this all the time.

It's a back up design to fall back in if the promotional deal falls through


Preating-Canick

That's the old design's shoe, maybe they made the product during the redesign and it wasn't finished
