longshot...can anyone tell me about this shoe? (Dsquared2)

[identity-x]

curious about the make (model? I'm not hip to the shoe game, I don't know what word I'm looking for here), the rarity and, most importantly, how much money I can make if I buy it for $14 and flip it on eBay...

at the very least I plan I'll keep them for myself.

dsquared is diesel's "streetwear" line. soooo not much if you "flip it."

they're ugly anyway.

^You sure? Dsquared is kinda a "luxury" label iirc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dsquared)

most of the dsquared shoes I've see online fetch a few hundred+ new, but there were a few at a website for $55.

the particular shoe I posted I haven't seen priced anywhere

you're right -- i was thinking about 55dsl. i stand by them being ugly still, however.

The insides look like some guido's spray tanned skin that undoubtively owns these.

dsquared2 is one of the brands I hope dies off with this recession, despite them being Canadian.

Seriously just look at the shoe and notice how it doesn't work at all... I don't now how to exactly describe it but the shiny leather body and the natural rubber wavy (???) toe just looks awkward. I'm not even going to start on that logo.

However, even I'd buy those if they were $14. You could certainly sell them for more than that. Hell, I think I'd buy at anything under $50 because those ************* probably retail at 300 and i'd be willing to eat my losses.

i'd give you a quarter for them if it was a garage sale... i doubt anyone is going to give you what you think they are worth to be honest.

Those look like they were made by a $45 embrodiery machine run by a drunk guatamalean child.

I have seen better looking $5 swap meet polo shirts.

I'd be satisfied if they sold for anything over $30. That's 100%+ profit. I can deal with that.

I'm not even sure about the condition of the shoe. I'd never heard of them so snapped the pic and checked online with the sole purpose of seeing if I could flip them.

I think if my time were worth so little, I'd kill myself.

Just buy Stan Smiths-- you can rock the clean look and the vertical dots without all the pressure and shameful contradictions that come from having a halo on your clothes.

when you're working as a graduate student instructor and have to use student loans and your $10,000 a year stipend to pay the bills, you take what you can get...

I think they are ugly, obviously, but you could probably sell them for $100+ pretty easily. Even more if you are willing to wait.

There are a ****-ton of fakes on ebay though, so be clear when you make an ad they are real.
