Horrors / Fashion Don't Ever Say We Didn't Warn You That These Shoes Existed
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 6:30 PM
Fashion (of some form) has turned around and embraced that which is, in its very existence, fashion's greatest affront (yes, even worse than UGGs): TEVAS.
The most disturbing thing about this is that at first glance (albeit after Steve prefaced it by saying that I would puke, and that it was "cruel to my entire worldview") my first thought was "Oh, they're not that bad." I mean the (ironic! hilarious!) collaboration between Teva and Grey Ant uses a relatively neutral shape, and the black ones particularly at first look just like graphic patterned strappy sandals. Other than the fact that you'd be wearing a joke (a "conversation piece" to be generous), they're... not as bad as they could be. Oh wait...
How 'bout now?
