Bandwagon much??




I couldn't believe it either, Nike has in a sense jumped on the band wagon of the gladiator sandal. I know these shoes are obnoxiously ugly or weird looking, but they took me by surprise. This isn't the first time they have tried to follow trends either, they also fashioned there own Mary Janes flats, which don't look bad either. My problem is they usually decide to re-create these styles while they are on the decline. Regardless of what I think Nike will continue to make money.


It isn't all bad though, these shoes actually look pretty nice. They stick with the traditional Gladiator style while adding their signature Nike symbol. It looks like a mixture of nylon fabric and leather [a favorite fabric of Nike] Unfourtunately these shoe are only available in Paris.
They cost 80 euros, which is about $111.11.



Do you think Nike should continue to copy popular trends??

You love them don't you?



These shoes are just weird. They kind of look like they cut holes in the sides so your feet can breathe. So these are another pair of Reebok's pump shoes, which means there is a pump on the front and there are air pockets inside the shoe. When you pump the air pump supposedly it makes the shoes more comfortable for the wearer. Apparently a lot of people like these shoes because they make about four different colorways a month.

Like many other shoes I have posted, if you wear these you will truly be unique. I've never seen anybody wear these shoes. These colors are inspired by the shipping companies DHL and FedX. There is no definite price for these shoes, they range from about $100 to $ 1000, depending on the rarity of the pair.
Tell me would you wear these for a million dollars?

Carry me to bed shoes


These shoes are sooo high that you will have to have your significant other carry you into the room. The good thing about these shoes is that you won't fall out from your ankles, most likely just falling sideways. They resemble a pair of heels that were worn in a season of America's next top model, to test if they could properly walk down the runway. Personally I would never wear these, because of the eminent death they would cause.
If you like these heels they are made by Jil Sanders and they start at a whopping $880, and that's without shipping to your house. I don't recommend buying these, unless you buy and increased insurance plan as well. They only come in black, so if you are brave enough they will match your entire wardrobe.
Tell me what you think about these.

What are these??




These "shoes" are from Lacoste. They look like some type of plastic, but I can't be too sure. Lacoste's shoes usually look a lot nicer and this is their one mistake. They say that it's more of a concept shoe, like those cars that they have at auto shows, but never really make it into production. These shoes are very over the top. It looks like you just wrap the fabric around your leg and it would somehow stick.

I'm sure if anyone wanted a pair of these they would have to pay an obnoxious amount. You know for custom sizes, shipping, and of course to pay for the actual material. But they are releasing 850 pairs calf-boots for women and ankle boots for men. They will be released June 10th.

Tell me would you wear these?

I'm on a boat! well not really...






Theses shoes in particular have no specific brand that they come from, because I've seen them everywhere. What is this sudden obssesion with boat shoes. I never see anyone wearing them on boats. I always see them walking down the street and in school and in the mall. I always wonder if these people are planning on going to a boat or just left a boat. Well anyways, These shoes were popularized by celebrities. [big surprise right] Kanye West has some, Jay-Z and some others I'm sure. But the thing is they all have boats or go on boats frequently.


I think they are called boat shoes because of the strings on the sides, but i could be wrong. Overall these are nice shoes. I just think that people should wear them in the appropriate place, on a boat! Like that song by that guy and T-Pain. They had on boat shoes I believe.
Tell me what you think about them...
p.s. I have on a nautical themed pashmina afgan! lolz.

Zip them on up




Saw these shoes and to me they are cute-ish. They are unique because the flower type decoration is made of the same leather from the shoe and zippers. They were created by Pour la Victoire a french shoe designer, who by looking at his other shoes, is very creative. They think out of the box and design shoes strictly for the already established fasionista. These shoes are unique because with a flower like that they are just begging for a double take. Usually the flowers on shoes are made up of a different kind of material, but Pour la Victoire chose to keep with the same fabric: leather. The zippers on the exterior of the flower just add to the shoes overall magnificence.


This particular pair of shoes comes in black, teal gator skin, and tan. As usual with such unique shoes comes a high price, which is $225. So as they say in the magazines this is the item to slurge on. For me these would be the shoes to wear to a huge party, but not so huge that dozens of people will spill drinks on you.
check out the black ones here: Pour la Victoire
tell me what you thik about these.
