I gotta say, the whole Prada thing is fascinating. You see ads for like, “Elegant Sneakers for Men,” and then you see Miuccia just doing her own thing, completely ignoring what everyone else is wearing. It’s kinda punk rock, in a ridiculously expensive way. Which is probably why people wanna rock a pair, even if they’re *technically* from, ahem, “Replica bags.”
And yeah, I’ve seen some scary stuff out there. Like, remember Church’s shoes? The “Downfall Of Church’s Shoes”? What’s that even about? It’s like the shoe industry has its own little soap opera going on. Maybe the Church’s folks should’ve invested in some good ol’ “Prada metal triangle” knock-offs, just sayin’.
Look, I’m not saying go out and bankrupt yourself buying fake stuff, okay? Saks OFF 5TH has some real Prada, I guess, and *maybe* you can find a deal. But that “up to 70% off” thing? I’m always a bit skeptical. It’s like, what’s the *original* price? Nobody knows!
But back to the *really* good fakes. The ones where you can’t even TELL the difference? Those are the ones that are interesting. I mean, seriously, oversized volumes and iconic details? Who *wouldn’t* want that? Especially if you can snag it for, you know, a fraction of the price.
The whole high-top thing is kinda played out, though, isn’t it? I mean, they’re comfortable and all, but like, everyone and their grandma is wearing high-tops now. Maybe Prada (or “Prada”) should come up with something new. Like, I dunno, space boots, but make them *fashion*.
