Sneakers Pants or Pants Sneakers?

Daryl van Wouw’s Converse Extension 1 leaves me in a conundrum: are they sneakers that are pants or are they pants that are also sneakers? This could pose a problem in Japan. And they look pretty uncomfortable.
The store would need to stock a lot of sizes to get all the permutations of waist, inseam, and shoe size covered! Definitely a custom made sort of thing and not practical for real-world marketing…

These extend converses are not for sale, yet. However Daryl van Wouw is investigating the possibility of producing a limited edition.

Lamborghini Woman Shoes

Lamborghini stilettos, the Lamborghini for women! The fastest shoes in the world!

I was shocked when I saw these shoes! Really! They look like mini Lamborghini models, the heels of these shoes are made from carbon fibre! Aside being extremely durable, I’m assuming these shoes would be extremely light as well. Imagine the miles you can walk with these! But everyone would rather have the real Lamborghini car.

Some think this was designed by men to make fun of women! It looks like the truth. These shoes are designed by Modo illustrator Tim Cooper who modelled them on a pair of his wife's high heels using a large handful of Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera images.
