You're looking for powergrips.
Unfortunately, I don't work at a bike shop, but you should call Echo Park Cycles and ask if they have them.

Actually, I take it back. Be a badass and make your own. Use recycled seatbelt and regular screws with nuts... MIH!

powerstraps only work on certain pedals (unless you modify them)...
Whats wrong with duct taping your shoes to the pedals?

do you mind me asking what youre really trying to accomplish, that wouldnt be less expensive buying some lower end pedals with cages?

Junkyards, car junkyards, try a place called PICK YOUR PART. It'll be cheaper than buying them, but you have to put some effort into making them.

no more than 10 bucks!
I wish i would have found the site b4 i invested on the holdfast FRS. Although i cant complain about the holdfast ones. I love them.

thats the point.... no one knows what kind of bmx pedals he has.
the pedals in the pick could take cages.
in my mind.. those velco straps are wack (aesthetically).... but considering the bike in the pic, the rider doesnt have aesthetics in mind anyway

ditch your bmx pedals unless youre riding 20"s. do not trust velcro straps to riding brakeless fixed. do not trust powergrips to riding brakeless fixed.
buy a legit pedal setup instead.
mks double straps
mks sylvan pedals
mks xl clips
yanco veloblinds
$150

holdfast are great. Worth the 60$ IMO, I have a pair and love them. They dont move, some how.

they do, but they hide it in hopes that you spend the big bucks on something "nicer".
