    Stupid $500 duct-tape designer shoes draw outrage online

    Tribune Media Wire


    DENVER — Some retailers have just stocked up on a new pair of sneakers that look worn – and it’s going to cost you $530 if you’re interested.

    The “Superstar Taped Sneaker” stitched together by Golden Goose is described as “Crumply, hold-it-all-together tape details a distressed leather sneaker in a retro low profile with a signature sidewall star and a grungy rubber cupsole.”

    The aged and taped shoes have caused backlash on social media for mocking poverty.



    In other news, high-end Italian brand 'Golden Goose' has released a new "crumply, hold-it-all-together tape detail" shoe, which retails at $530 (US). Glorifying poverty since 2000. pic.twitter.com/ZZBUB0N6ek

    Golden Goose made a pair of sneakers almost identical to it’s latest release back in 2016.
