Anyone seen these?? What do you think? love? Hate?

Zara had almost an exact copy but doesnt sell them anymore :( but i would never buy the orinigals b/c they are soooo expensive. Im sure in a couple of months there will be imitators everywhere (such as steve madden, etc.) I think aldo already has a copy of this shoe..well not copy but an 'inspired' version.

check out the orginal

oh here is aldo's version which i dont really like :x

guccigal07 · Mar 19th, 2009, 10:57 AM

several people have made inspired versions.

and yes they are pricey...I think around $2400 ouch!

NAP sold out before they even came in!

armanigirl · Mar 19th, 2009, 11:20 AM

^^I know i read about NAP being sold out already before they came in..crazy!

~Fabulousity~ · Mar 19th, 2009, 11:21 AM

Those are hot!

marbella8 · Mar 19th, 2009, 11:23 AM

The Balmain version is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Too bad they are ridiculously expensive!

Veelyn · Mar 19th, 2009, 11:34 AM

I love their edgy look.

kuromi-chan · Mar 19th, 2009, 06:21 PM

The Balmains are sooo HOT and FIERCE! I love them! Does anyone have a pic of the Zara version?

Sinful Indulgences · Mar 19th, 2009, 06:36 PM

Love the Balmain's, too hot to trot!

Does anyone have them?? Love to see some modeling pics and know how they fit!

armanigirl · Mar 19th, 2009, 08:56 PM

here is a pic: the zara ones are all the other pics except the one that the red arrow points (the original)

yes someone post some modeling pics. i know someone MUST have them on this forum!!!

armanigirl · Mar 19th, 2009, 09:00 PM

oh and its ridiculous bc the ZARAs are being sold on EBAY for about 399$ or more !!! Kinda ridiculous knowing that they were only being sold for about $160!! but now they are sold out of course and zara isnt producing anymore bc of copyright issues (or whatever you call it for ppl who copy shoes lol)

CEC.LV4eva · Mar 19th, 2009, 09:14 PM

they're okay, a bit too "studdy" for me

stefeilnately · Mar 20th, 2009, 03:36 AM

Does anyone know how the the zara ones fit? Are they comfortable on the feet? TIA!

MissPR08 · Mar 20th, 2009, 05:48 AM

i think is a stunning shoe.!

Kamilla850 · Mar 20th, 2009, 11:28 AM

These shoes are a piece of art. My girlfriend was lucky enough to get these and they are absolutely stunning IRL.
