you have to look at it from the design perspective to fully appreciate these, I think. imagine you're on raf's design team and are given the task of developing a sneaker that is modern and cutting edge, like the rest of the clothes your brand produces... what do you do? you know that athletic/running shoes are in style at the moment due to the deluge of fits with roshes, frees, etc found on tumblr and the like. what did those running shoes do to become popular to the point where they are acceptable with "smart" (i.e. dressy) outfits? they took the cluttered look of asics or every other running shoe pre-2010 and simplified the fuck out of them. so what do you do as a "high fashion" brand that challenges conventions? you move in the opposite direction. rather than simplifying, you introduce more glossy blocks of color. at the same time, you show that you're innovative by completely flipping the script on what colors are used. instead of bright hues, you choose maroon, dark navy, olive. of course you throw in some pink and whatnot to keep things interesting.

"IN CONCLUSION" it's basically flipping the script on what the "pleb" brands, such as nike, have done to make running shoes appealing to the public over the last couple years, and it's fucking amazing/brilliant imo.

YES these shoes are supposed to be ugly to a certain extent. that's the conceit of it all. but at the same time they combine interesting colors and textures that work amazingly with an otherwise simple fit.

sorry if this comment is a bit convoluted; I'm a bit drunk :)
