A little OT, but...

Popped by my Nordstrom last night to pick up an alteration and saw these... a little part of me got so angry that Steve Madden would rip these off. Took a closer look and the quality is really poor...

I know what you mean, about being angry. They are a complete rip-off, and an insult to the people who wear the actual IM ones. When we have paid a certain amount and stalked places to buy them, and then people can buy these. I know not everyone can afford to buy the IM ones, but it takes away the originality and exclusivity for the people who have bought the "real" ones.
They are the same as fakes, but legit. So had enough of fakes etc, devaluing the true items.

I totally agree with you ! It's such a shame and this makes me so angry. Last time I saw a girl in my school wearing the blue and cream ones and I know that they were fakes :( I put so much time in the search after them and it's quite disappointing to see people waering fakes just because they want to be trendy. Even if they don't have the money, you can also buy some great and original stuff for less. I also had to save all this money because my mom thought they were too expensive. And I am only 17 so this took a while. So yes, it is an insult when you pay 460 € for a pair of shoes and see people wearing copies :(

Wow are you kidding? They're a complete rip-off. Not even just inspired by... :\ This really bums me out! I hate it when brands just steal a shoe design like this. :nogood:

WOOHOO! finally got my anthracites and bazils from mytheresa and NAP respectively! I'm in Sydney and only just got them this morning.... I'm an AUS 6 but with narrow feet and the 36 in the bazil fit perfectly however the anthra feel a leeeeeetle bit tight. Not too sure if I want to keep the anthra...

Also since these are both my first IM sneakers does anybody have any care tips for me?? Any recommended sprays etc etc? Thanks!!

Thank you :smile1:I actually wraped the velcro strap around the tongue (rather than behind) only until i get used to the shoes and feel more comfortable to let the tounge out
