If Nike and Arnold struck a deal today for a weight lifting shoe, like above, I think it would sell quite well. Could advertise the hell out of them on all the YT fitness channels. Lots of bros would buy them. hell, I'd probably buy them.

Those are Nike Olympic lifting shoes from the early - mid 80's. They're sometimes called the Feuerbach model from old timers because Olympic shot putter, and well regarded Olympic lifter Al Feuerbach helped design them - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Feuerbach .

I don't think Arnold ever had a shoe, but he did favor Nike Cortezes in photos, and he did some print work for Reebok too -
