A recruiter at the tech recruiting place I used to work wore these really weird shoes, similiar to that. They were made by Oakley (sp?) What's that you say? They make sunglasses? Yeah, but they were experimenting with shoes too, and this guy had a friend who worked there who got him a pair. I have to say, I didn't really think of him as looking very cutting edge...

hehe the Kobe II's, aka Moon Shoes! by my friends and I

as for the oakley shoes, Oakley line of shoes

I think the flesh ones look comfortable, though I wouldn't be caught dead with them in public.

If I see someone with shoes like those, I might die laughing at them. Those are atrocious.

I think people who wear those shoes aren't trying to fit in...They want you to take notice and realize that they paid $200 for shoes...

Comfort is all that matters so if they are comfortable, I don't care what they look like.

I know what you mean. I went looking for some simple Converse hightop shoes a couple months ago and I couldn't find anything that I would wear in public.

You guys do realize that these are basketball shoes, no?All basketball shoes out there look like crap if you wear them out on the street because most of them are not meant to be worn for normal every day use. They're for basketball. And when you wear them out on the courts, it's a different story. Those shoes which didn't look good before all of a sudden look pretty crazy. Just make sure you have the game to back up the shoes...

Watching shoe trends is kind of funny, actually. Remember about 3-4 years ago when the big thing was jagged black and white all over the shoe? Weird..

For that kind of money they better be Italian, soft leather, and come with spare laces.

Anyone see Back to the Future 2. Micheal J Fox had those exact shoes on his hover board ;)
