Mirror's Edge

A recently announced game by DICE (creators of the Battlefield series of games) and EA called Mirror's Edge looks to be one of the most interesting games to be released in the last few years.

You play the character of Faith who is effectively a courier. These couriers are specifically used to avoid interception and eavesdropping by the totalitarian government. They evade government monitoring by using the city's rooftops and skyways to get from one point to another.

The movement in the game is synonymous with Free Running or Parkour.

One of the questions I've seen on numerous sites has been "where can I get those shoes?!?" referring to the unique split toe/tabi style footwear that Faith uses.

Some have suggested it is based on the Nike Air Rift or Nike Ikoi, others have suggested it is based on a Puma Parkour concept design.

The original trailer for the game had the brand "Loggo" on the shoe on the intro sequence, despite being of slightly different design and colour to the one actually in the game. Loggo has no such shoe or even any with a split-toe design.

So I put it to the Interwebs, what can you find that is the best match for this shoe?
