over priced!
Permalink Closed


I just saw these as a pre order on the kitson site for $158


Converse All Stars - Rhinestone & Pearls


The price is absurd...they're only Converse All Stars with stuff attached to them and anyone could make the same thing for way cheaper.  But even though I am not a fan of the rhinestones or the price, I really like the color of the green ones.

Geez, they are ok, but a bit cutsey and that pricetag is ridiculous.


I do like that green color, it's different.

I'm assuming the price of the bedazzler was included. They remind me of something you would see on Nickelodeon circa 1990. Perfect for a show like "Salute your shorts". They're truly classic.

Haha, that's so funny!  Now that you say that, I am reminded of a pair of shoes I had in sixth grade...Yeah, that was like 1990 or 1991.  They were black and fuschia LA Gear hightops with rhinestones all over them.  Man, I loved those shoes and my mom thought they were the most awful things ever and now that I'm an adult I know why! 


But here's the saddest part...I am expecting that these shoes will "grace" some youg Hollywood feet. I can definitely see Britney in them and I wouldn't be surprised if Paris wore them with some kind of Primp suit or something.  Gross.

Those wretched things were made for a person like Britney. This is a person who has been pictured emerging from gas station bathrooms with no shoes, these LA Gear flashbacks would be a vast improvement.

To add to the childish idea...


I had a similar pair when I was 8 or 9...when I was a child.

You know...I'm a big enough dork that I would actually get a Bedazzler and make them myself... I love that color green, but no way am I paying $158. Although they will grace young Hollywood feet because they all think shopping almost exclusively at Kitson is the greatness...I can't wait to see the pink ones with one of these entertaining things (the Primp suit tri_sarah_tops...also terribly overpriced) mentioned.
