high end low end and vice versa

I never pay much attention to sneakers although I know that there is a serious high end sneaker culture in most of Europe. At Colette I was blown away by the most intricately painted Converses. If I had 250 euros on hand, they would have been gone on the fox and rabbit Converses below or the ones with an oversized meticulously painted grasshopper. So beautiful. I satisfied myself with some technicolor macaroons instead.


A stone's throw away from Montmartre, I wandered through a neighborhood with discounted clothing and shoe stores. There I saw the most audacious hooker shoes, for some very unreal prices.
