I got these gucci sneakers today at 140 dollars. What do you guys think? http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/...6544&ev19=2:12

 

[Souper]

What do you think of them?

Can you articulate what compelled you to pay $140 for them? just curious

 

[converge]

They're pretty ugly.

 

[Prada_Ferragamo]

The price, the fit, and the comfortableness on my feet. I guess not much love here. They were pretty unique sneakers.

 

[why]

are you black?

 

[dfagdfsh]

Unique =/ Good

 

[Prada_Ferragamo]

Am I black? Are you a racist?
I am not black.

Asking if someone is black is not racist.

The shoes still suck, though.

 

[Prada_Ferragamo]

It's stereotyping.

 

[airportlobby]

Implying that because someone buys ugly shoes, it follows that they are black, is pretty racist.

 

[o.p.]

Those are terrible.

I guess the shoes are not getting much love here on SF. I initially didn't like them either. But after I tried them on, I liked the fit. No laces. Besides the price was good.

Unlike you, SF will not grow to love these shoes. But if those justifications make it a worthy purchase for you, kudos. Just don't keep rationalizing it for everyone over and over again. It's not the end of the world if your Eurotrashy sneakers don't go over well on a forum; they'll be a huge hit at the gay bar, I bet.

 

[robbie]

not my thing

Pretty sure that "are you black?" is kind of racist in this context.
