The Xbox 360 version of the 2012 re-release offers the Grind Shoes as an award for the Xbox Live Avatar, named ' Sonic's 2G Hi-Speed Shoes'. In Sonic Adventure 2 and its re-release Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the Grind Shoes are worn by Sonic over the course of the entire game. In addition, they are specifically made for the grinding maneuver, thereby ensuring high-speed movements on Grind Rails. Like Sonic's shoes, the Grind Shoes appear virtually friction-proof, showing no wear from being used to run at the speed of sound. The rims on the front of the outsoles are white, while the heel rims are grey and the rims on the middle have yellow and white arches. The outsoles are yellow, red and grey, highly detailed, and have a red recess below the in-steps. Featuring more foot-shaped proportions and outlines, they are mostly red with tongues, solid white cuffs, and thin white straps with golden fasteners on each end over their middle. The Grind Shoes greatly resemble Sonic's shoes. Sonic wearing the Grind Shoes while grinding on a Grind Rail, from Sonic Adventure 2. The design of the Grind Shoes is based on the real-world Scorcher shoes from Soap, a brand that specialized in shoes made for the sport of grinding.
