Has anyone seen those ridiculous Rick Owens sneakers that all the celebrities are wearing?

Yes, on the surface they look like wrinkled old shoes, but they're beautifully crafted upon closer inspection.

[quote user="AKA*NYC"]You guys just don't get it. Poell is easily one of the most innovative designers around. You should really try to check out some of his leather pieces before writing him off as a hack. His shoes are really nice too. There's plenty of images on the "Carol Christian Poell" thread on this forum. Yes, the prices are rather high but if you try some of the stuff on you might decide that it's worth the extra couple of bucks.[/quote]

But why spend 2K on Poell when I can get this beautiful Steve Madden shoe for $135?

It's leather too (I think?) and has some distressing going on, even a wrinkle on the toe box (I think that's a toe box?). I don't understand what the difference is between this and Poell.

This shoe looks like it was designed by Poell! Very nice. But I think the price difference has to do with the fact that Poell shoes are limited editions like Nike.

Nike should seriously take a hint from Poell and start numbering their shoes. Could you imagine where the value would go if you had the number 1!!!! Holy Nike!!
