A little to Gucci-esque for my tastes.

The bicycle-esque toebox looks terrible--I wonder how it'll look after a little wear.

Very Miami, though, Jon; especially the last two. Maybe you can pull them off.

So your laces don't get caught in the steering wheel while you're sucking your own dick.

those are all awful. I really don't like shoes that are so slim that they have no presence on your feet and your jeans hang loose over them without any stacking. they make you look wispy.

Not really a fan, too athletic for me and not wide enough like Dunks

The heels are too narrow for me, but I like the idea.

They didn't 'put' the name on it.

Porsche Design did them.

It's their design firm that does tons of ****. They've done glasses and watches for years.
LaCie has Porsche Design external hard drives and disk drives.
They do luggage, faucets, lamps, chairs (and I just found this out on their website... a kettle, toaster, grand piano... and an orange juicer? sweet)

Basically, everything.

I kind of like the middle one, but not enough to buy a pair.

All at "Porsche Owners Only" prices none the less. I went to the PD store in Ginza and about **** when I saw the price for a metal model car.

Actually they are rather chunkier than most (all?) of Puma's motorsports-inspired shoes. I tired on the version in brown and they were pretty damn nice...too bad the store didn't have them in my size. At least they cost only $130 compared to the pair of Y-3's I just had delivered for the low, low cost of $270...

I dunno. Take away the logo and die drei streifen and this looks like it came from payless to me--or diesel, at best. The brown pair is OK, though.
