Clyde on Heels?!

I'm not really sure what to think of this Puma collab with Sergio Rossi. It's not like this is the first time a classic shoe has been translated into something apparently more women-friendly. Remember the stiletto Timberlands and Chuck Taylors from a few years back? Or if you're really old school, the trademark Baby Spice trainers?

Confession: I had the Chuck Taylor stilettos. :P

I think what went wrong here was that they tried to make it so feminine that you can't even tell it's a Clyde. The reason why the previous stiletto transformations were successful was because they kept the main elements of the original shoe. For me, what tells the Clyde apart from any other shoe (aside from the curved line going across the side which is pretty standard for most Puma shoes) is the textured sole, and the stripped part near the toe. None of which are barely present in the stilleto version. And OMFG, that disco Barbie satin against the chunky harsh white heel....

WHY?! :(

In other news, PW is hosting a graffiti competition tomorrow at South City Plaza, Seri Kembangan. Starts at 10am and ends at 3pm. Check it out if you can, you wouldn't wanna miss it. But if you can't, I'll be posting up pictures from the event as usual so stay tuned. :)
