Outside of fan t-shirts, there just aren't that many ways to show off our geek side to the world. With the growing number of hand-painted sneakers on Etsy, feet can now be outfitted with any interest, whether it's sci-fi or superhero. The graphic kicks in the slideshow are so beautiful we'd almost hate to wear them. Is an at-home museum display of custom footwear too much?

A serious sneaker collector may already have a pair of Air Force 1s, but does that pair include an immaculate likeness of the Hulk?

Remember Van Gogh's affection for Amy and the Doctor with these impressionist-artist Doctor Who shoes. If that wasn't your favorite episode, the kicks can be customized as desired.

The hand-painted shoes from Etsy seller Holly Grothues can be customized for any type of shoe and geeky movie or video game, but we love the idea of hitting a night on the town in feet decked out in a Star Wars vignette.

Relive the Sega days in Sonic and Tails slip-ons.
