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??

I've seen a lot of girl walking arround school with those shoes. They look kinda wierd but they still look good with them. I can't belive that Nike came out with those tough, well I do, they always improve the "hip" things.
ReplyDeleteI bet these are soo comfortable! They really don't look that bad, they're like a fun mixture of sandals and sneakers. Its a way for Nike to make money from people who love their shoes but want something new. I kind of want to go and see them when I go to Paris.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen nike gladiators before! They most definitely jumped onto the bandwagon. After all, Nike's slogan is "just do it". These shoes look a little too wild for me so I don't think I'd be caught wearing them. They do look comfortable though. I just don't like the fact that they look like cleats or some sort of sneakers. They look a little too sporty for my taste.
