i believe this is the "model" but not the colorway

more pics of the shoe can be seen @ http://www.subtextstore.com/

The shoe is inspired by modern furniture designers Charles and Ray Eames, and is made out of the actual Eames fabric.

Regardless of my affliation with Commonwealth, I find it troubling that adults can pass judgment on a product so quickly without physically seeing the productand/or being fully informed about it. I'm not necessarily talking to the two cats in here only, but people in general.

It doesn't take a lot to google/wiki search Ray and Charles Eames and learn about their contributions to mid-century design and then see that they servedas the design inspiration of the shoe.

In an age where shoes are pumped out with little to no care about design, history, or quality but more to do with hype and "limited numbers" tofurther that hype, consumers should appreciate products that are created with craftmanship and integrity even more.

[mattmatics]

[stereofaith]

i'm copping and i'm going to put them in my crib in the exact spot where an EAMES chair would be if i had an extra $3000.00 to throwdown on the one i've been wanting for years! now that's what's up*...

You can't appeal to every consumer and I just so happen to be one of those. Doesn't matter to me who the inspiration of the shoe was, from the picturein this thread it's simply not visibly appealing to me. Still, hope the release went smoothly and I still look forward to seeing future designs.
