Its description reads, “Crumply, hold-it-all-together tape details a distressed leather sneaker in a retro low profile with a signature sidewall star and a grungy rubber cupsole,” Disappointed by it many took to social media and shared their views.
This is the world we live in. The rich Imitating the poor.

This is not COOL—— my mother and her siblings ALL HAD TO WEAR TAPE on their shoes.....to school. My Grandfather was fighting in WW1 & WW2 and there was no money for new shoes. Tape was and is cheap.....

It tops pricey, pre-ripped, white tees by a mile.
Poverty is a costume for the rich
