And yes these sneakers are great! I will point out it's a conceptual piece. (in other words, I can think they are great and not necessarily have any interest in wanting to wear them...)

(This something a lot of people here in this thread are struggling with or don't seem the understand... Let me put it in a few other ways: There are many houses architects design that most normal people find as hideous! It doesn't mean Zara Hadid or Frank Gehry are bad architects, it means their highly conceptual works are far beyond the comprehension level of those who do not have a deeper understand of design and design process.

In another way: Is a Maclaren P1 or a Pagani Zonda beautiful? Yes absolutely! If I had the money, would I drive one? No. They are not my style, I prefer astute and stately rides over sports cars.

What's my point? You can appreciate designs in their own context. To do this often requires that you learn about design, design theory, application, and process, and you learn about the designers and their personal philosophies. Basic: elevate your minds. Not every design is a solution for every situation. People in this thread would know this if they were truly investing in design as opposed to just being people looking for nice shit to wear. Instead of just being people with no insight on fashion design other than hording and collecting pieces... FFS fashion is more that just hording shit to fill your closet)
