Shadow the Hedgehog Costume Guide

1. LEATHER JACKET – The certified bad boy of the Sonic franchise, Shadow the Hedgehog demands the coolest leather motorcycle jacket with red accents.

2. PANTS – Add a matching pair of black leather pants for one of the coolest cosplays you could hope to find.

3. SHOES – While we weren’t able to find quality replicas of Shadow’s shoes, we feel he would approve of some leather high tops, or perhaps a pair of tactical boots.

4. SWEATSHIRT – A white sweatshirt evokes Shadow’s ample chest fur.

5. GLOVES – Next, like many of our Sonic the Hedgehog costumes, you will need a pair of white gloves.

6. RED HAIR DYE -Grab some extra-strength hair gel and apply some red hair dye down the center of your head.

7. BLACK HAIR DYE – If you don’t have naturally dark hair then some temporary black dye might be a good option.

8. GOLD BANGLE – A couple of chunky gold bangles are great for recreating the rings that Shadow wears around his wrists.

9. TOY GUN – Sonic went through something of an identity crisis once he entered the 21st century. Like when they gave Shadow dual-wielded machine guns. We’re not sure what they were thinking but we are all for it!
