oh my. I think strange combinations are often... well, just strange. Not appealing. Not interesting. Just strange - or actually, weird. And Ugly, one must not forget - because these sure are ugly!

So then, how can a "shoe great" like Christian Louboutin be designing such a thing? Was a gun put to his head? Or is he completely off the mark?

I think even the great geniuses have missteps.

LOL, but the black ones are kind of cute. Although, I wouldn't wear them.

The black sneakers would be perfect without the wedge as a cute sneaker. I think people invented them in the 80s and are trying to re-invent it which is going horribly wrong.
