All of a sudden I’m fascinated with this shoe. Goddamn it’s ugly. ⁣

The girl on the left had to show her booty with the Pink Martine Rose’s and she only got 26 likes. I’m pretty sure that I don’t have to show my booty with the Black Martine Rose’s to get that many likes (make me proud, people!).⁣

I had to hashtag search to see if I could find people *actually* wearing it. Funny enough, there were only 300 or so hashtags for #martinerosenike and the vast majority of them were from fashion bloggers in Asia (I’m presuming mostly Japan) and a handful from Europe. I didn’t see anyone from the US really rockin ‘em. Swipe to see a few other gems. ⁣

I took ‘em out the box again and I was trying to figure out how they made them...like...if you look at how most shoes are created it’s a whole bunch of different panels sewed together to construct around a shape. The bumps on the Martine Rose's pair aren't all that strategically placed, though, so it’s kind of hard to picture how they were made. I put my hands inside and tried to figure it out - I think maybe they pre-stretched the bumps (these shoes are all made of plastic - not leather - so easier to heat mould) and filled each one with some kind of foam. I have no idea, though. Any ideas? ⁣
