Dior Homme’s New Sneakers
Would You Break the Bank for These?I just got an email from our Associate Editor, Austin, telling me to check out these sneakers. The email read something like; “Chris, what do you think about these? Would you rock them?
I looked at them and at first I thought, “Man…these look like something Maximus would wear in Gladiator,” but upon second review I kinda dig them. These Dior Homme joints would be a tough addition to your fit…especially if you were trying to get extra fresh one night. I then looked at the price….$945.00.
When I asked Austin about the price, he replied; “Yeah man, that’s some people’s rent!” Now, I know it is a bit excessive but I have no problem droppin’ a stack in regards to fashion. I ain’t got it like “that,” but you know what I’m saying…right? LOL
Would you drop that kind of cash for these sneakers?

I think these are limited release because they could only repo a few out of Michael Jackson’s wardrobe. These are by far the best kicks to be molesting lil’ boys in.

I agree on “rent” comment… Unless they were signed by Batman himself I would look into it.
And didnt they come out with Bionicle shoes already???

The U.S. Army can lead you to success. And to these ugly ass combat boots.
The only way these make you “extra fresh” is if they come with a bar of soap.

Christian,
You MUST have known the reaction these would get from the guys who read your column. These are more an example of design than a usable shoe.

Sebastian says:
what y’all are forgetting is that the jeans or pants cover most it anyways. so u only have some of the front left.
try covering the heel and ankle part with ur hand and see what it really looks like. (that’s what i do when i buy shoes and don’t wanna try em on.)
unless u decide to go beverly-hills-hood and do what lil wayne does and tuck your jeans in.

analord says:
i like the kicks. Dior Homme sneakers are well made (but very overpriced) and I’d wear it if someone gets a pair to me for free. Obviously i’m not spending 1G in them. 180 for a pair of new Jordans is about as high as most of everyone would go….

Those are the “ghetto line” of clothes dior is jumping into to keep blacks and minorities distracted from purchasing their other more “Classic” line of clothing. I’d put these together with the red LV’s “designed” by Kanye
