I'm talking about shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who makes beautiful but miserably uncomfortable shoes that women often pay upwards of a grand a pair to purchase. In a recent New Yorker magazine profile, Louboutin was quoted as saying "...I hate the idea of comfort..." . He went on from there to describe a woman who was comfortable at home in her clogs as being drunk and puffy. I'd take comfy and a bit puffy any day over hobbling around like a defenseless prey animal (exactly how I feel in his shoes, even his flats). In protest, I present the most fashion forward Jack Purcell sneakers ever, co-designed by the cooler than cool fashion house Comme des Garcons. They're Jack Purcells, so you know you can walk miles in them (and run like a gazelle, too). Plus, that crooked little heart on the side is just the perfect amount of branding; I'll take it over Louboutins blood tinged soles any day.
Find these PLAY Purcells at Nice Kicks. And give Louboutin a protest kick, too.
