- Marilyn shoes
In this particular case, these shoes were not made for walking. A pair of giant shoes (1,5 meters tall and 4,3 meters wides) meticulously constructed out of hundreds of high-shine stainless steel pots and lids, they were auctioned this year at Christie for 574.000€ (so I don’t think I’ll be having one of these anytime soon). Though there are a few copies of the shoes (glamorously named Dorothy, Cinderella, Priscilla and Carmen Miranda), this is the only pair of the series (one shoe would be about 280.000€, so I still don’t think I’ll be having even a single shoe). I saw one of them recently at Joana Vasconcelos retrospect at CCB and that’s one hell of a shoe!

Please plaese plaese review the new Gravis Dylans!They look like no other skate shoes, most people think they’re absurd, but if you like in New York, you see Dylan skating in them whenever he shows up at a spot. I’m REALLY curious to know if they could actually function as a skate shoe. While I’m sure the shoes everyone else listed would make interesting reviews, we already own and skate these shoes (chukka, era, rival, etc.), and they are basically variations on a theme: low-profile vulcanized shoe. The Dylan is a shoe that NOONE will go out and drop $100 on just to see how they skate, and so a review on them would not only be interesting, but useful in determining whether Gravis made a debut pro-model that’s even skateable.
