OK, these pumps are from a couple seasons ago, but they were very popular among stars like Beyonce, so I want to get your opinions.  I personally don’t have a place for something like this in my closet, space is tight in NYC!  The colors are cool but the design and materials are so bulky and weird.  I appreciate that the Balenciaga designer took inspiration from snowboarding boots, but sometimes things are lost in translation.  They’re a bit too sporty and not feminine enough and there’s just too much going on with the mesh, zippers, studs…  The most hideous part about the whole thing is the price that these pumps sold at- $4000!!! Then Steve Madden created their knock-off version and brought the price down to about $200, but still about $150 more then they’re worth.
