+1, and they're atrocious.

Note that the seller is asking an absurdly high price of $189 for these used dogs (excuse me, I mean Sharks). Maybe he'll get it eventually but it won't be anytime soon.

BTW: Check out these beautiful half boots from the same seller:

AAMOF: Check out this guy's stuff for sale. Some is nice, some is gauche, all the prices are absurd!!!!!

It looks like the pair is on at least their second sole - the sole and heel doesn't look like an AE job.
