Have you tired emailing NAP? I know there are getting more stock of the red and blue bekett and you can wait list for it, I didn't check about the bazil though. Good luck!

Have you tried Barney's? Bazils were on the website last week. I would call a store and see if they can locate.
 
Sorry to hear they didn't fit! I'm usually a 40 but decided to order a 41, and they fit perfect. Really hope you're able to find another pair!

Yes, kind of. I'm a US 5 and my 36 fit perfectly with socks on. Without socks there's a really painful rubbing from the top of the shoe on my toes (but this is when I had padding in). I've since taken the padding out, and wear them with socks always. I don't think a 35 would ever fit me if IM even made that size. So in a sense I am "sizing up" because I'm a 35/US 5 regularly.


Thanks for your responses! I will definitely be on the hunt for a 41 as you've given me hope that they'd be a good fit. :smile1:
 
The "eww" was offensive and I'm glad it was called out.

I'll bet no one thinks it's "eww" and disgusting and exploitative when they're swiping on their ipads or typing away on their computers that were made by these disadvantaged Chinese workers.

That being said and back to the topic at hand, you can absolutely have quality products made in China, the aforementioned electronic products are excellent examples of that.

Steve Madden stuff is pretty awful though.
 
I think the thing here is theres a big difference in cost to make them in China or say Italy. If there $1000 shoes they should cost more then $5 to make.

We all know we're getting ripped off when we buy designer stuff but you can at least be ok with your $700 CLs that maybe cost $100 or $200 to make in Italy but I'm not going to spend $1000 on a pair of shoes that cost $5 to make in China.

I'm all for companies making money but at some point it just gets greedy!
 
And it is especially "Eww" in my opinion to pay someone so little, and yet charge your customers so much which is all my statement said. it did not say "eww..the chinese suck."

I expect it from Walmart not from a high end brand that markets themselves as luxury. What pray tell is luxurious about sweat shop production?

"According to a report by the World Luxury Association, more and more brand-name luxury goods are shifting their production to China. It expects that 60% of the world's luxury brands will have their products made in the country by 2009. "

You should stay away from luxury brands, most of them are made in China or partially manufactured in China, (e.g. Cartier, Pierre Cardin, Burberry, Armani, Prada ,Furla ......)

Chinese workers are capable of producing high quality products if that's what they are contracted for. The problem is that, when quality is not a priority, companies tend to subcontract production to the cheapest supplier. It is not that China is worse at producing quality products, they are just cheaper and winning those contracts.
 
Wow I am really amazed/shocked, how can you post a reply like this? If you did not mean what you said, which I believe, why post something angry like this? Just say sorry, thats all.


Wow. You just created your own narrative from 5 words.

You are 100% incorrect and simply want to infer something negative about a PEOPLE and not a PRODUCTION & BUSINESS PROCESS especially in light of how luxury brands build their image. They suck consumers in with tales of "heritage" and "tradition" and the "good old days of luxury" and "artisinal crafts that are created, harnessed and nourished in their countries." This is what consumers buy. So yeah I think it's incredibly exploitative of not only consumers but also workers. The elitism you are claiming I have, is exactly what luxury brands sell and their consumers buy into.

And it is especially "Eww" in my opinion to pay someone so little, and yet charge your customers so much which is all my statement said. it did not say "eww..the chinese suck."

Do not preach to me about a superiority complex bc guess what? I was born in a third world country and have relatives who work in sweatshops. So you can stop all of this "they're bringing jobs to these nations" capitalism garbage that you have apparently consumed but have put no nuanced thought into. I have seen in it, and it is not pretty. The reason why so many companies move abroad is to escape liability and responsibility in their host countries on how they treat their workers. I expect it from Walmart not from a high end brand that markets themselves as luxury. What pray tell is luxurious about sweat shop production?

This is about the effects of a system that puts profits over people and that is what my statement is about ok? thanks.

The value of goods is what people are willing to pay for it, I guess. I dont think it depends that much on the production costs of it. I think that overall much more profits are made on designer/luxury goods (i.e. the cost - profit margin is much higher). The marketing costs are way higher too (advertising in Vogue, commercials etc). I am pretty sure that many high end designers produce their products in Asia, where production costs are really low (Indonesia, Philippines, india etc). H&M also produces many items in Asia.

Prada's turnover amounds up to 1.3 billion every year, which turnover can be compared to the bigger chain stores which sell a lot more products (sales volume) than Prada does.

I dont mind that much where it is produced, I dont think the factory in Portugal is a very cosy place either (probably not much different then the one in China, although I have never been there I have to say). Spain and Portugal are well known for their shoe production, its mass production, which never sounds really luxurious to me.
 
you have to decide if you are "too old" for the sneakers
it has nothing to do with the birth date your passport is showing
some 30 year old are too old for these sneakers because of a different style and behaviour
some 50 year old can easily wear the IMs

if you do not feel comfortable in wearing these sneakers because it is not your style and just a hype, than don't wear them and spend your money for other stuff

I am turning 30 this year. Am I too old for these?

Age is but a number. If they fit with your style, then go for it. If you will feel uncomfortable or silly wearing them, then I would skip them.

P.S.- I'm turning 31 in a month, and I just got 2 pairs from this season.

I turned 30 in January & I don't feel silly with them on at all. You have to know what works with your own personal style I guess. My mom still rocks animal print at 71 :)
