these shoes are made of play doh?
these shoes are made of a meltdown of blue, white, and green strips of leather, laser-compressed into a striated amalgam that looks, as balenciaga designer nicolas ghesquière joked, “like play-doh.” the shoes appear in the 2010 spring/summer line, though i haven’t seen them actually available for sale anywhere yet. wonder why. my number one guess is because children don’t have mastercards. my number two guess is because not everybody can sell the shit they create when they’re totally high. some are lucky.
i think i saw these in the willy wonka movie. . . in that one room where everything was made of candy and edible. i would buy these if i could eat them.
Roundy laces? Gah. I do like the paper airplane heel though. I have a recipe for peanut butter play-doh. Maybe that’s what they used. That way, if you’re walking down the street and you realize, “Damn, maybe this was a mistake!” you can dispose of them pretty quickly and it’s environmentally friendly.
