yeah I recognized the pic from the airport by the leather pants..I'm looking at the close up that you posted and the metal heel looks scratched up. I think that perhaps when it comes down to certain items which she LOVES shes just like any other girl, cherishes and recycles! I mean even if she wore them 3 times before, and found them in her closet again and decided to wear them again how bad of condition can they possibly be in? I think those are the same shoes based on the visible scratches on the heel, BUT perhaps even if worn they were custom made esp for her then. Esp being that it was around the time that she had the whole MJ campaign going. Hope dies last!!!!!! And I still hope that somehow and somewhere I will be able to get my hands on a pair LOL !
