Could likely be the most butt-ugly shoes I've ever seen. Yikes. If they were going for the ball-and-chain look, they missed it. :lol:
 
I really can't say much seeing as how I use to add real chains to all my shoes :D . . . and bras, corsets, panties - everywhere.

The plastic is stupid - but I'll admit if it was a sexy boot and real maille with a some furlined cuffs I'd think it was awesome.

They need a clue - plastic links? No . . .real links? Yes.

See - people have them beat to it! Add some chain to a $50.00 pair of shoes and resell them for $150.00 - business baby.

I had a classy pair I wore -they were something like this - I made mine with all titanium rings, though; I have no idea where theyv'e gone after all this time

I got an email about them this morning. There was a picture of them with the text "Just what the doctor ordered for all the Gang Bangers” & wannebees . . . ." under the picture. I thought it was just a joke pair of shoes. Are they real or something?

Yeah, I read that too. I see them as more like prisoner shoes than slave shoes.

Or chain gang. What are they called? I'd love to read the marketing statement on them.

I thought they were actually making fun of sneakerheads who go ape**** over shoes and kill people for them.
 
According to one story I read they're racist shoes, but I'd bet that those that are allegedly being offended are the target audience and will buy them in droves.
 
On the one hand, you won't lose your shoes if you somehow end up in a situation which causes them to fall off.

On the other hand, IMO you'll look like an idiot at all other times. :2razz:


Edit: Another thought though - what if you want to kick your shoes off and walk around in your socks for a bit - these things would seem to make that more difficult...

You're right; it's the plastic.

And the color of the plastic too. Ick.

Actually, these kicks are pretty dope, minus the stupid plastic Playskool ankle cuffs. High tops with purple and gold? Yes please!

Actually, I agree with that, in a way - I wouldn't wear them to work, but purple and gold sneakers are kinda cool.


Minus the bright yellow plastic shackles, that is. :shock:
 
I think they got jealous of me calling Crocs "jail shoes". :lol:

The media and people need to quit looking to slap a label of slavery or racism on things like this, because it's like the boy who cried wolf. These funky shoes could be targeted towards several types of consumers. In particular, idiots who think having a criminal record is cool would probably go for them.
