Look! 👀
This is what is currently being advertised to me.
£200 + too.
I ask you…

FannyCornforth Wed 12-Apr-23 11:28:07

They are designed by Kanye West apparently

Mind, you ‘the algae based foam’ may be a boon for the plantar fasciitis…

A fool and his/her money are soon parted? I’ll give those a miss Fanny

FannyCornforth Wed 12-Apr-23 11:33:58

The yellow pasty shaped ones are growing on me.
They do look rather bouncy…
I’m so suggestible 🤦‍♀️

Well i have just saved money then.

Juliet27 Wed 12-Apr-23 12:13:53

What on earth are they?!! Where do you wear them?!!

toscalily Wed 12-Apr-23 12:27:18

I can't make out what they are?

FannyCornforth Wed 12-Apr-23 12:28:24

They are very pricey Adidas trainers.
They are called ‘Yeezeys’ after Kanye West’s nickname

FannyCornforth Wed 12-Apr-23 12:29:30

Here’s a pair in situ

FannyCornforth Wed 12-Apr-23 12:31:38

This lovely baby sick coloured pair can be yours for just 30 grand

toscalily Wed 12-Apr-23 12:36:56

Wonder who is idiotic enough to buy them, so ugly and expensive.

MiniMoon Wed 12-Apr-23 12:37:25

I also have an advertisement for shoes, but rather more appropriate for our age group. Those Yeezys look horrible.

toscalily Wed 12-Apr-23 12:39:01

Fanny if your really tempted please ignore my remark smile

CazzJazz Wed 12-Apr-23 12:41:44

They look so ugly, heavy and uncomfortable. I won't waste my money grin

I’m not really, but I am curious about the bounce factor!
My style icon is Helena Bonham Carter, and I can just about see her wearing them.
And tbh, I’d rather wear them than the court shoes up thread

Wheniwasyourage Wed 12-Apr-23 14:03:42

Skechers (sp?) are bouncy enough for me and a fraction of the price!

MrsKen33 Wed 12-Apr-23 14:06:20

They look as if your feet have melted. Very ugly.
But I’m with Fanny on those blue court shoes. I wouldn’t be seen dead, as they say.

Callistemon21 Wed 12-Apr-23 14:54:05

They look like a 💩

FannyCornforth Wed 12-Apr-23 14:57:36

Oh! They do a bit! 🤭

Callistemon21 Wed 12-Apr-23 15:13:35

I wish I could wear the blue shoes!

Auntieflo Wed 12-Apr-23 16:02:35

Those Yeezeys look like something invented for an Alien to wear in a horror film.

NotAGran55 Wed 12-Apr-23 16:09:16

If I had to wear one pair it would be the aliens, I wouldn’t be seen dead in the blue things either.

SueDonim Wed 12-Apr-23 20:45:24

Oh my, at first glance I thought they were some sort of helmet for bike riders! I see I got the wrong end of the body. grin

Enidd Wed 12-Apr-23 20:47:09

Haha…Oh my goodness whatever next!

I love my sketchers!
