Sneaker Balls 8 Ball Shoe Freshener

The Eight Ball, as time and again has shown, is the most Metal ball in the game of pool. With its sleek color that is only fit for Metal fans to wear, its role in the pool table and the fact that it makes an awesome patch/button/tattoo that a Metal Legion can wear proudly, there's no doubt that this ball has served it's purpose in the world of Heavy Metal.

When you look at Metal music, one of its core components is the concert and festivals, as without these events we pretty much have nothing to celebrate or build our music on.

When going to said concerts and festivals, what is the one article of clothing that gets beat up the worst? The standard issued XL black shirts that gets torn, pulled, yanked, bloodied, beer spilled, bitten, stabbed, etc.? Nope. The jeans/cargo sorts that go through the aforementioned violent episodes? Not even. The worst part are the shoes and here's why: after a Metal show, you feel like you have gone through an Iron Man Triathlon challenge considering the amount standing, flying, stomping, kicking, running, charging, & moshing that happens in concerts and (especially) festivals, and the ensuing bad smell of a Metal fans foot comes into the picture, and it is not a pretty.

Now for those (few) that have ever done any sports in your life, what happens to the inside of your shoes after using them in a sport activity, they become a smelly mess and that's where today's article comes into the world of Channel 13's Absurd Hall of Metal Trinkets.
