Shoe Mecca? hardly

26 Jul

I’ve been following a thread on the Fashion Spot Forums that give light to shoe knockoffs as soon as people find them. Come to find out that this shoe would be put into reproduction

The reps for Sam Edelman had been letting people know that they were going to re-release the Balenciaga knockoff boots that so many “fashionistas” had been clamoring for. The only catch now? The price tag has doubled to about $300 dollars. Which at this point might seem cheap for the people who were paying up to $700 or more on ebay.

What is it about this shoe that has caused so much news? I think if they were released for the original price, then perhaps I would want one pair for myself. But for $300, you could go to Barneys, Saks, or Neiman Marcus and buy yourself a real designer shoe instead of one that is supposed to look like it. Yet there are girls high and low shelling out their money (recession what?) for these boots.

Do you see yourself paying to get these boots? I’m surprised no one else is knocking them off now.

    Whaaa? That is majorly weird…from the re-release in itself, to the doubled price tag, to the fact that no one is knocking them off as of yet. I can only attribute its perpetuating popularity to the “big” fashion blogs. Sam Edelman is smart to cash in on the popularity, though. It's actually kind of a wonder that they didn't do it sooner….

    hopefully someone will knock off the knockoffs. $300 is ridiculous.
