HypeBeast-

The stand-out feature of the sneaker is the use of dried glue on the upper, which gives the impression of running down the upper. This effect is continued with materials designed to look like duct tape and cracked-white paint on the midsole. Lastly, the fusion is finished with both black and white laces and Maison Margiela’s signature branding on the tongue and sole. The sneaker is available now from the HBX web store for-

  3. Just the thing to wear with a pair of torn and tattered designer blue jeans. What kind of fool would pay over $1400 (or dumbass guilty parents) for a pair of deliberately battered sneakers? And where are PF Flyers and Redball Jets nowadays if they even make them still. We’re in the wrong business folks if enough idiot people shell out that kind of money for POS sneakers.

  8. We’re obviously in the wrong business. If we can sell ghetto poor chic to rich white liberals for $1400 a pair were obviously doing something wrong.

    Of course they may not be selling at all. Who knows?

  10. I am wearing Fila cross trainers right now that are held together by loads of yellowing shoo goo including the cracks across the top of the shoe where my toes bend. I’d be willing to let them go for a couple of hundred dollars. I didn’t realize I was creating art as I tried to make them last a few months longer. Any takers?

    And is it just me or are athletic shoes just designed to last only a few months now? Even New Balance has become crap from my experience.

  13. George guessed $20. Actually, he said he wouldn’t pay $20 for it. I was more “realistic” and guessed $149.
    Now, we’re both trying to pick up our jaws from the floor.

  16. My last pair pf sneakers looked like that and were held together with shoe goo in the front and wearing out at the toes. I just bought a pair of New Balance shoes from a company called Shoes For Crews recommended by my younger brother for about $80. The shoes I really wanted with custom orthotics cost over $500 and I’m sure are worth it but I can’t and won’t pay $500 for a pair of shoes. The New Balance shoes have flat non skid soles and I’m willing to give them a try for working during the Spring and Summer. And in Winter I’ll go back to my Red Wing boots.

  17. Side note on New Balance shoes – My physical therapist let me in on, not quite a secret, but not common knowledge. The higher the first digit of the NB model #, the more robustly constructed the shoes are and the better the support they provide. Top of the line starts with 9.

    I’m an old fat guy with flat feet. I bought a pair of 9xxx shoes and I can spend just about all day on my feet with very little discomfort that day or the next. For me, as Joey B would say, that’s a big $#@%^ deal.

    EDIT addition: Oh, yeah, the NBs cost quite a bit less than $1400, and they look better.

  18. Uncle Al, find the N/B that are made in America. Those are the shit. They use to make a squatting shoe. Purple with Velcro straps and an elevated heal. All that was missing were the aluminum leg braces. Loved those shoes. Got tired of getting laughed at. By my wife,

  20. Shoot my husband was born before his time. Back when we were newly married he drove me nuts wearing his jeans full of holes and boots with duct tape. Now he’d be in style. lol

    I saw some jeans full of holes a year or so ago in a department store for $300 and thought obviously some have more money than sense, just insanity it appears to pay $1400 for a pair of shoes.
