Strictly fashion intended. If there were any valuable construction or quality features they would have mentioned them. In style until they set new fashions for the public to buy.
Woman's marketing technique but no value in the Men's market.
Thanks to the OP for posting though.

not necessarily. most people have no idea what a channeled sole is, they just wanna hear about how chicks "always look at the shoes" or other marketing nonsense.

It's possible that these are actually made quite well. They're not really that fashiony either, mostly just classic captoes etc.

They're probably ****, but i wouldn't judge them without seeing them first hand.

That is the only shoe I find interesting without being downright ugly (like leopard prints etc). I prefer the works of Jimmy's son, Danny anyway.

Fair points....
However, my hunch is after a year at most, they will be relegated to the back of your closet hoping for an Ebay bidder. And, if you are committed to the expense of manufacturing something made quite well why not explain? It won't hurt in making the sale.

What a garbage collection. I wouldn't wear any of those if you gave them to me for free. And they're asking for almost a grand? What a joke.

Hmm well Rick Owens, A1923, Lanvin, Ann Demeulemeester and even Dior Homme would like to differ.
