You know, I could swear it had real gems last night! I thought I had died and been reincarnated as Kanye. Then I woke up and was like, WTF! Is this cardboard!?!

What about these then?
http://www.openingceremony.us/produc...10087&cn=menu1


this is a perfect example of a shoe that no one would pay more than $20 for unless you stick "x opening ceremony" at the end of the brand name. a good test would be to say

"if this wasnt an opening ceremony "collab," how much would i pay for it?"

i did that with the boo x sperrys, and realized that those shoes are really only worth $50-60 for me

Well, I had a good time.

PattyC- that's a classic pattern, but please please don't try to dress like Noel/Liam Gallagher.

Sort of true. They are nicer fabric than normal keds though. White chambray.

The product discription in link just says: red, white, chambray, denim, and navy. I see white and chambray, but no white chambray.

edit: though it would be cool if they were white chambray

who cares about fabric, its a pair of white shoes that you'll be wearing around in winter, they will stay white for all of a day and then be as dirty as white canvas shoes

If you like those then get them they don't look like vans other than overall concept.
