These shoes are literally out of this world.

You probably know GE for keeping your leftover lasagna fresh, but did you know they played a role in putting human beings on the moon? General Electric provided the rubber and plastic used on Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's uniforms, which is pretty cool and shows they know what they're doing when it comes to hi-tech materials. To honor this somewhat specific and nerdy fact on the 45th anniversary of the moon landing, the appliance company has teamed up with JackThreads on a pair of sneakers that resemble the boots worn by the heroes of Apollo 11. Of course they're much sleeker than the boots that took one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind, but hey, you'll be the coolest big kid at space camp this summer. While they were priced at $196.90, unfortunately 99 of the 100 pairs have already sold out. JackThreads is giving away the last pair, so there's still hope for you to be the world's biggest dork by recording a video of yourself doing the moonwalk in moon shoes (and please send us a video if you do).
