Nieman Marcus Will Sell You a "Destroyed" -- Artificially Distressed to the Point of Being Nonfunctional -- Sneaker, And They'll Do It for the Low, Low Price of One Thousand Four Hundred and Twenty Five Dollars

US dollars, not some debased kind of dollar like Esperanto Bucks.

We're not done with this trend yet: Neiman Marcus is currently selling battered and ripped sneakers for $1,425. At first glance, these look ripe for as much mockery as those $425 mud-stained jeans. But if you believe in fashion as art, you can also follow the argument that there's something a little more legitimate about the Maison Margiela Future Destroyed High-Top Sneaker.
The white sneakers appear to have been slashed with a knife, so that bright yellow inner stuffing shows through. They’re covered with staples, as if someone survived a tiger attacked at the office and then used whatever was nearby to keep their shoes on their feet. These are not shoes pre-dirtied to approximate blue-collar style, however. These are gleaming throwbacks to Martin Margiela's deconstructionist work of the 1980s, inspired in part by the work of Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garcons.

The shoe is being marketed towards the semi-retarded sons of rich dentists with very successful group practices, as well as self-identifying cock-holdsters. (Not a slur; Jim Parsons and the rest of the Progressive Human Shield brigade has declared it so.)

Here's the page you can order this sneaker from, with additional angles of this product.

In case you didn't believe me.

Usually, to find a shitty off-brand stupid-looking sneaker that's all cut up and stapled, you'd need to spend $12 on the sort of no-name sneaker they usually only give to refugee children, plus a knife and a stapler.

By the way, the sneakers -- in their non-destroyed form -- debuted in Kanye West's "Yeezus" tour, so we can thank him for this stupid shit.

Oh, and these aren't the first:

"It's a far more edgy answer to Golden Goose’s ‘Distressed Superstar Sneakers' that featured scuff marks, ripped laces and duct-tape reinforcements," Footwear News wrote of the Future Destroyed kicks.
Those Golden Goose shoes, which first came out in 2015, were meant to be a reaction to the "brand new, fresh-out-of-the-box sparkling white sneakers" that dominated the market, Net-a-Porter Vice President of Global Buying Sarah Rutson told Yahoo Style at the time. But they received quite a backlash for looking a lot like the shoes of someone who couldn’t afford to buy any new shoes, let alone a $400 pair.

Four hundred a pair? Pshah. Only grubby poor people would buy those.

Here's what that deeply stupid footwear looks like.

The old ones were about flat worn out. Soles worn slick, pieces breaking off, and the midsole punctured.

Besides the obvious comedy, the funniest part is the school that awarded Saint Tray-Tray the degree.

HBCU (naturally) with a 2.0 GPA entry requirement and no SATs listed. If I remember reading correctly they rank #9 among HBCUs in graduating black teachers. Stop and read that last sentence again. Already-academically-horrible HBCUs and they celebrate not even being able to break into the top five.

109 It's a marketing ploy to make their other crap look reasonably priced.

I did buy a pair of those angry beaver firehose pants for $68, wearing them now. Nice ... but the $10 jeans from WalMart are nearly as nice, and I don't have to worry about messing them up. But I'll wear the angry beaver jeans to town to impress the babes (as if they are not already overly impressed by me)

But Mikey Jordan says those $200 Nike designer shoes are the best, and it helps those sweat shop kids even though it helps their communist owners more ... so many choices.

209 No GAINZZZ thread. Oh well here is mine anyway. I'm back to my highschool waist size of a 33 amd was about a 44 or 45. I'm weighing in between 180 and 185. Lost 70 lbs of fat and water since Thanksgiving. Started off with 8 weeks of resistance training all day using the Tower 200 and walking and squatting around the neighborhood. Confirmed high fat gives you strength and faster muscle growth.

End of week 3 at gym.
Squats up to finishing 2 sets of 5 with 185. Up 50 lbs.
Bench up to last set of 4 with 205. Up from 155.
Straight bar curls last set of 6 with 95 lbs.
Rows using 85 lbs dumbbell last set of 7 up from 60.
Pull-ups and chin ups only using 30 lbs spot down from 70.
Dips no spot down from 20 lbs

Made up a Murph type workout to do on my arms days 3 times a week. 2-4 miles walking and every 100 yards a set of 20 squats and next 100 a set of 20'pushups.

I eat at least 2000 calories at night for my one meal only to maintain and gain muscle and for energy the next day. HFLC one meal a day. Sleep like a baby around 11pm every night.

Body has transformed bigly.

Night Horde and God Bless!

Awesome report -- congratulations Pepe.
I drive all day for a living and have been using an adjustable hand strengthener doing several hundred reps/day. Has added muscle to forearms and improved my grip strength.
Only drawback is that I break the spring every 2-3 months. Just replace the springs now from the hardware store (instead of buying new strengtheners).

Sales clerk turned out to be very knowledgeable about footwear (said the company had sent her to a "foot geek conference" where they had engineers, designers, etc. learnin' them about shoe design). She was great. Walked out wearing some new Keene boots. Very pleased.

Same store where, a few years ago on another ski trip, I went in to look around and found a young clerk in the gun section with the last name Earp. I asked. Yep, he was a relative/descendant of the famous US marshals. Which was a nice touch at a gun section of a store, in the west.

Hi: My sock has a hole in it. Can you darn it?
Lois: This is how we darn socks nowadays.
*picks up ratty sock*
"Oh, darn"
*throws in trash can*

That has stuck in my mind all these years.

290 Rhomboid,

First week of June is busy around here. It's the Elks Rodeo. Plan accordingly. Drunk cowboys everywhere.

291 Is it a Fyre Fest sale?

All in all, I'd rather be around drunk cowgirls than drunk cowboys.

295 Anyone else remember the jeans from when we were kids? You could stand them up on their own when they were new.

Yup.

There are those too. I love the rodeo. We are in the fancy tents. The whole time my girlfriends and I make these loud inhale noises. We are dorks.

I don't ride.
One of my favorite events as always is mutton busting.

302 What the soy banana?

When the hell did this place turn i into a fashion blog?

First the "mud" jeans and now this--Poor Boy Liberace --crapola.

(Someone explain to 29 year old Ace--who Liberace is.)

Heh. On the Five just a few moments ago. Gutfeld made a MF'er pun, about a mother lemur named Tucker. She's Mother Tucker.

Kimberly blared and rolled her eyes, and said, "Oh, you're so charming, little Unicorn boy."

304 I still wear Weejuns.

Anyone remember Braun shoes? They were what all the cool/rich kids had when I was in HS.

Posted by: IrishEi at May 05, 2017 09:52 PM (HiDrR)

305 In grade school, I usually wore Saddle Oxfords (thanks, Mom.)-- good ankle support and durable.

Wasn't a problem 'til we moved to hicksville, idaho, where the kids just laughed. Back in the city, it was The Style in those days. Sigh...

306 Okay Ettes, since this is marginally a shoe thread I need some feedback here.

My wife has taken to knitting baby booties, and just for kicks she did a pair in black with a red bottom. I think they're kinda cute(ish), but I'm a guy, whadda I know.
Oh and they have like a knit clasp that goes across the front so it looks more like a show than a bootie. She was thinking baby LaBootiens,, or sompin.

Sound like she's onto something?

307 I have a pair of golf shoes that should be worth thousands in this context.

308 Did everyone know that there is now an LGBT Experience, much like the Black Experience?

I did! Errr, I mean- really?

I would have bought something like that.

Posted by: redbanzai at May 05, 2017 10:02 PM (FTXAT)

310 These shoes and those "muddy" pants are like the $100 hamburgers some restaurants brag about selling that I see on the news sometimes. Nobody ever buys them, but it gets somebody a lot of attention and free advertisement. The best thing for everybody to do is just ignore this stuff and not play along.

Posted by: mark1971 at May 05, 2017 10:08 PM (xPl2J)

311 I will deign to part with my ratty old sneakers for $1K even--a $425 savings!

312 Scams work because it doesn't take many suckers for the scam to pay off.

313 Shit, suckers, I'll sell them for an even thousand. Boots too! btw

My Dad highly reccomends them but I have never had a better pair than my broke-in Bellevilles
