A Special Comic Con Costume Walk with Adam and Alton Brown

Hey everybody, it's Adam from Tested, and I'm here to share with you a special video of my costume walk at Comic Con this year. Last week, I walked in my own custom-made space suit, but this time around, I had the opportunity to hit the floor alongside my good friend, Alton Brown, who is also not dressed as his usual character, GAM.

We decided to team up and create a new costume that we would both wear during our walk. We wanted something similar to each other, so we started brainstorming ideas. One thing we noticed was that we had similar glasses, which led us to consider dressing up as The Matrix's Twins. Alton joked about not knowing anything about this idea, but we knew it could be a hit.

Assembling the Costume

We began working on our costume pieces in two different cities over the course of a week. I worked on various bits and bobs that would complement each other to create an authentic costume. On the other hand, Alton was busy assembling his parts. We both knew we needed something great, so we didn't want to settle for mediocre costumes.

Our jackets were made from trash bags cut out by someone who sewed them together using polyester. The pants and tie were a different story altogether - they were high-quality items that matched our overall theme perfectly. When it came time to put everything together, we had some issues with the jacket's design. It was meant to be a good quality item but turned out to be quite awful.

Looking Fantastic or Not

We knew what we wanted - to look fantastic while walking around on the floor. We didn't want our costumes to be terrible; instead, they should have been fantastic and still manage to capture the essence of The Matrix twins. That was not an easy feat as many would agree that it's quite difficult to pull off.

To overcome this challenge, we decided to make sure our outfits were not just comfortable but also had a good quality look. We did this by using various materials such as boots and shoes made from Italian plastic. Our outfits came with shoe horns as well - the hallmark of top-quality footwear.
