I dig the mud flap

Chons		2007-09-12 12:28:00 AM

That shoe has a bad case of teh ghey.

The Sportiletto, from a top designer, is a Lego-like high-heel.

Those shoes are so hideous, the designer won't even put their name on them.

coxinha		2007-09-12 12:28:20 AM

fark yeah I want those. They can keep the grey sock and ugly pants, though.

Nogin Lame		2007-09-12 12:29:00 AM

They'd sell more if it was $3000. Some people are so easily separated from their money by the fashion and beauty industry it amazes me they had the brains to make the money they waste in the first place.

"i want - i need!"

yellow_ducki		2007-09-12 12:30:59 AM

No farkin way

AusGirl		2007-09-12 12:31:53 AM

Definately DO NOT WANT!

Sherjo311		2007-09-12 12:32:05 AM

That doesn't look like a lego. It looks like shiat.

/fixed that for you.

Claude Ballse		2007-09-12 12:32:25 AM

I can just see the reasoning behind buying these things now...

"But honey, the shoes *match* my car!"

It reminds me of anal sex.

mekki		2007-09-12 12:32:41 AM

I came in here to laugh at that stupid "all girls love shoes" myth but you know what? I actually want those shoes. You could just wear a plain black dress and let the shoes be the focal point of the outfit.

It's very new wave meets the toy box. Looks uncomfy though....

NoblePatrick		2007-09-12 12:33:20 AM

Why is she wearing gray socks with those shoes?! Isn't that a fashion faux pas, akin to wearing socks with sandals? Perhaps it'd be better with sheer hosiery.

/under homo suspicion for worrying about women's fashions

wldncrzy14		2007-09-12 12:34:02 AM

Looks more Erector than Lego

The emperor's new clothes...

Shiftless		2007-09-12 12:34:15 AM

Made out of the same plastic as regular skates? C'mon, there's gotta be more to it than that right? I guess not...

Great Odins Raven		2007-09-12 12:34:20 AM

Looks like Google shoe.

drjekel_mrhyde		2007-09-12 12:34:21 AM

This guy wants ten pairs

Firefly4F4		2007-09-12 12:35:07 AM

wldncrzy14: Looks more Erector than Lego

That was my thought too.

I never understood the Harlequin movement in the Dub scene, kinda like I don't understand these shoes!

TxRabbit		2007-09-12 12:36:44 AM

I suppose it's okay if you want to see ladies falling off their shoes. Cuz, that's ALWAYS funny.

stonicus		2007-09-12 12:37:09 AM

It looks like an orthopedic brace. If you pay that much money for that thing, you're an idiot.

yellow shirt		2007-09-12 12:37:38 AM

yet another reason why I believe the fashion industry is the most overbearing, self-righteous yet backward business in the world.

anevilmonkey		2007-09-12 12:37:40 AM

Farkers... Girlfriends

Naahhh To easy.

Pave_the_Planet		2007-09-12 12:38:09 AM

I'm almost 6' tall, so heels are a no.

But man, I'd love a pair of the 1-2-3 Rollerskates again.

SharkInfested		2007-09-12 12:38:40 AM

two words:

Victoria Beckham

/and that I would love a shoe actually crafted out of legos.

drjekel_mrhyde		2007-09-12 12:39:59 AM

Not as ugly as these

Yep. Definatly Erector.

boosted01		2007-09-12 12:40:36 AM

love the harlequin vw's
the shoes.... i could build them in my garage it looks like

Sub Human		2007-09-12 12:43:17 AM

I like 'em.

But only wear heels that high to bed however. Its not safe to walk in 'em much.

Virtuoso80		2007-09-12 12:43:22 AM

Anyone want to guess how many pennies it would cost to make a plastic knockoff that looked exactly the same?

Kevin5280		2007-09-12 12:43:48 AM

I'm guessing that the writer, Laura Stott, has never touched a Lego block in her entire life. Or seen one either. I'm surprised she was able to spell it.

adulescentulus carnifex		2007-09-12 12:43:49 AM

Dear anyone who would pay $1500 for shoes, especially these shoes,

Claude Ballse		2007-09-12 12:44:36 AM

drjekel_mrhyde:

That looks like some shiat you'd buy from Indians (the smokeshop/casino owning kind) at their road-side truck stops. Maybe it's all the turquoise color, and how they look like they were weaved from burlap.

wldncrzy14		2007-09-12 12:45:26 AM

What about these bad boys?

poorjon		2007-09-12 12:45:57 AM

That thing is ugly for days and days.

Admiral Awesome		2007-09-12 12:46:03 AM

I prefer these

The concept behind those is actually kinda cool, though. Shoes FTA look like something a two year old would wear, with a heel added, because "fashion" and "comfort" are mutually exclusive.

Verismo		2007-09-12 12:48:22 AM

Wow, I used to have a pair of those 1-2-3 skates... I was so sad when I couldn't fit my feet in them anymore...

I'll see your game boy shoes, and raise you....

Chiggity Chza		2007-09-12 12:52:04 AM

Those shoes look pedobear approved to me...

Claude Ballse		2007-09-12 12:54:10 AM

Christ on a rubber crutch! What the hell am I doing arguing over, and posting images of shoes on here for like their pictures of boobies?!?

Teh gheyness of the fashion industry is too overwhelming!!!

/I was warned about this
//In a Jack Chick tract
//I think it was called "Satan's Footwear for Soldiers of Christ"...

I remember everyone had those gaudy things back in the early 80's

/on my 2nd pair of these

Leviathan05		2007-09-12 12:57:01 AM

Am I the only person that sees how heavily they were influenced from snowboard bindings? I think they're kind of cool once you see their influence.

Chiggity Chza		2007-09-12 12:58:39 AM

Leviathan05

Well, go buy you a pair and prance in them on your webcam for us then. I might pay 1500 for that.

/Not really

Ringshadow		2007-09-12 12:59:16 AM

Wouldn't own'em. Refuse to own high heels. Would consider platform buckleboots.

/love my Dickies steeltoes
//also own two pairs of sneakers (one for gym), combat boots (need to be replaced), and sandals
///and a set of kneehigh boots for cosplay
