Frankenshoes: Marc Jacobs mates shoes and tables
Yes, folks, Marc Jacobs, mad scientist that he is, has been at it again, and this time his experiments seem to have centred around throwing a table and a shoe into a room and leaving them alone for a few hours to see what happened.
This is what happened: a shoe with a table-leg attached to it. And not a very nice shoe, either, if we're honest. Seriously, if you have to combine shoes and tables, Marc, could you not have picked a shoe that at least looks like it's supposed to have a heel?
Instead, he's picked a shoe that can only be described as "sensible". This shoe never wanted a stiletto heel. It wanted to be left alone, to live out its days in peace and quiet, maybe taking the odd stroll to the shops for a cup of tea and a scone.
Instead, this happened to it. Poor shoe. If you feel like rescuing it, you can buy it here, but be warned: it may not look it, but it's $792.
I think the table-heel is awesome. The shoe part totally ruins it.
I LOVE the heel! Can’t say the same about the rest of the shoe, though… What a shame!
I agree with Maayan. The heel is cool, the shoe is absolutely awful. My grandmother wears cooler shoes. (She really does, I’ve recently given a pair of boots she didn’t use anymore to a friend!)
i saw these shoes months ago, since i used to work at MJ showroom… man they were AWFUL. and be prepared, because they come also in red and blue. and there were also some sort of… red hairy slippers. bleurgh—
Poor shoe. I blame the table and its evil ways.
The shoe also seems to be platformed on a piece of sponge cake.
hmm… looks comfy though…
Sick
Heinous.
We used have a school shoe back when I was a student called “desert boots” which were all the rage (I live in Australia) and these look quite like a desert boot that someone has stuck a platform and heel underneath.
Not good.
Here in the states those shoes are called “wallabys” my BF still has a pair of black ones from 20 years ago…
