WHO TOOK MY SANDALS?!!!

come get it bitch



I spoke about the sudden infestation of gladiator sandals last year. Anyone can fill me in on where the trend came from?

I kinda like them gladiator sandals on girls. But too much of a good thing is bad. Most of the time at least. Suddenly, EVERYONE are selling/making/wearing them. We have the gladiator sandals, the gladiator heels, the gladiator boots and even gladiator platforms.

While it is understandable for them to try to hop on the bandwagon and follow the trend, it is distressing to see some terrible implementations.

One of the biggest no no is buying damn cheapo ones that look so terrible and don't fit.

And girls with fat feet... please do not add on to the meat dumpling joke: some people (like me) find it very hard not to make fun of you. I am trying... honest.

Now nike and some art student called Nancy Wu came out with their version of the sandals.

white nike logo: too much contrast?

white/silver & white/gold always works

interesting details

I feel that the design is quite nice because it only gets the inspiration from the gladiators but improved it with unique touches like the laces. The laces stay true to the gladiator sandal's aesthetics but in it's own unique way.

Is it a gladiator sandal with thick straps and laces? Or is it a boxing boot with cutouts and missing a toebox? hmmmm?
