This shoe by Walter Van Beirendonck (teaming up with Japan’s Fools-Inc) is a new take on his existing, $815 “Cloud” sneaker. It is surely designed not to be worn on your feet, but to be thrown from a moving vehicle.
Via Hypebeast, it’s stupid as hell, but in the best possible way. Outlandish fashion design is always at its best when it begins with “let’s make a Nike Vapormax, only one that’ll explode on contact and knock Luigi down from 1st to 4th.”

If Nintendo-looking sneakers aren’t your thing, Van Beirendonck’s latest collection also includes a jacket that is very “Catwalk Bowser”.

DISCUSSION
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Sandwiches. Batman.
I have not complained much about the obvious awfulness of the redesigning and insertion of ads at every possible point, but fucking Christ almighty.
I literally now cannot spend more than 15-30 seconds reading or commenting without a MOTHER FUCKING VIDEO AD pulling me back up to it EVERY GOD-FUCKING-FORSAKEN TIME it finishes and restarts, one that cannot be paused or interacted with, without opening another fucking tab.
I try, very, very hard not to be hyperbolic or over dramatic, but FUCKING FUCK this shit is about the last straw. I can’t read or comment on anything now on mobile because, like clockwork, I get yanked back up to the fucking ad, again and again. Just writing this out, I have been yanked up to that fucking ad about 15 fucking times now.
And the thing is, I feel awful for blowing up like this. I know its not yours or any of the other writers and editors faults.... but shit man, SOMETHING has got to give here.
