In honor of the new epic adventure fantasy movie “9,” Pony has teamed up with Focus Features and Universal to produce a limited edition sneaker celebrating the movie which opens in theaters nationwide on 9/9/09. This marks the 2nd collaboration for Focus Features involving a footwear company to promote their movie, the first being the Coraline Nike Dunks.

The Limited Edition Stitchpunk Sneaker, also known as simple as the “9″ shoe is inspired by the film’s on-the-move “stitchpunk” characters. Pony has designed the shoe made from burlap and makeshift materials to represent the fabrication of the brave “9″ beings. A zipper, mismatched eyelets, twine shoelaces and neon green “electricity” accents are just some of the intricate surprises that re-create the vision of the fantasy film.

With only 99 pairs to be made available, the 9 Shoe is sure to be a sensation and a collector’s item. The limited-edition run will be distributed via an online sweepstakes in conjunction with retailer Hot Topic. The shoes will be issued on September 9th, 2009 to coincide with the theatrical release of director Shane Acker’s film.
