I get it. I really do. Large, chunky sneakers are now officially in, and most every brand from sport to street to luxury have been offering their own variations. What I don’t get are the ones that come so distressed that they look like they have been dredged through mud, soaked in drain water and then strung along the back of a moving vehicle.

But that’s not the worst thing. The worst thing is brands like Vetements trying to charge you over a thousand dollars for something that you can pick up from the Salvation Army for a couple of bucks. Seriously. In other words, chunky, yes. Dirty for a thousand over dollars? No.
