They could have just put the same design around her feet without the heel section and kept in the jetpack uses.
Dumb rocket heels aside then what do you think of the MercurySteam's redesign?
Leaked designs from next Metroid game:
Not like you to fall for such an obvious bluff, if you complete it in under 60 minutes it'll turn out that it was Falco all along :DLeaked designs from next Metroid game:
I think they could have went with a bit more definition in her shoulders and arms as I don't feel it matches the much stronger definition in her legs.
Hahaha.
Fuck heels!Thoughts on the Zero Suit Samus redesign by MercurySteam?
Love this design.
The old footwear is still the best.
Are we sure this is real concept art? There isn't even heels on her feet and I can barely see the line indicating a breast! And women aren't supposed to have muscles, that's gross -_-
The old footwear is still the best.
Still the best one. This is from Nintendo Power, right?
The old footwear is still the best.
Yeah, even in the Nintendo Power art she's lanky as hell. It's just less offensive, not inoffensive.
...what?
Fun fact, the armour redesign for Other M (also Sm4sh) also got stuck with heels. Okay, that's no fun at all.

Well she certainly has more definition on her arms than that Zero Suit one. I don't think artists will ACTUALLY draw a buff woman though unless they are referencing an MMA fighter or something. Skinny arms are so common now that as soon as they start looking plump people are like "ughhh bodybuilder body no want!"
While true, that sort of oppressive mindset is sort of responsible for fucking up the social norms and freedoms of their society, prompting women not to date because they're too busy with work and prompting men not to date because they'd rather capture the childhood they were never allowed.
It's more they don't care because she's attractive.
Actually, if "potential allies" require being treated nicely, they are not making decisions based on any kind of ethical point. I've also seen people threaten to leave groups based on ethical considerations for not being treated well enough. What does that mean? It means, the people complaining about tone are only near the group for social validation. If *I* have a concern that comes down to an ethics base (like I believe this topic does, due to the harm caused to the psyches of female children by excess emphasis on physical appearance being the only relevant value they can have in the world), then *I* don't change my ethics due to someone else being rude to me. Because it's a decision I've made, and the other people who have made it separately are not going to affect my views at that point.
Awful attitudes are justified by users' post histories. It's not difficult to discern when people are not discussing in good faith, when everything they post shows a latent sexism in their attitudes.
Samus' arms specifically lack definition. Since the suit is apparently capable of VERY CAREFULLY AND LOVINGLY defining the edges of soft tissue like breasts, it should also be showing definition of the deltoids and triceps. But we can see it doesn't. Did the magic wear off after leaving the torso proper?
My headcanon regarding the zero suit is that it's a futuristic polymer that can automatically constrict to be snug. Spider-Man's suit in Homecoming did the same thing. Not saying it's right or anything, just how I always rationalized it (also I'm a guy, so I guess I wouldn't know how breasts work). Although, I guess in Other M, it contradicts this as he suit seems to stretch over her breasts and not shrink wrap them up individually iirc). I'm surprised all this talk about Samus' musculature, this hadn't been posted yet.
Why not just make them platform boots then? Why don't guys wear heels in games if they're so intimidating?
