First off, Raf Simons, right? The guy’s a legend. I mean, his stuff is always so…*intentional*. You know? Like, he’s not just throwing stuff together, he’s *saying something*. Which, honestly, sometimes I don’t *get*, but I respect it.
And the Ozweegos? Okay, they’re objectively kinda clunky. Let’s be real. But that’s the *point*, isn’t it? They’re not trying to be sleek and minimalist. They’re like, “Hey, look at me! I’m a *shoe*! And I’m gonna make a statement!” And this Replicant version? With the deconstructed thing going on? Woooo, boy. Messy and cool is a vibe.
The whole “Belgium National Day” thing, tho… I’m a little lost. Like, is it just a color scheme thing? I didn’t see *that* much red yellow and black, but maybe I’m color blind, idk. Maybe it’s a deeper, more metaphorical thing that is going right over my head. Which is totally possible, knowing Raf. He’s deep, man.
I saw them on REVOLVE too, which is cool ’cause their shipping’s usually pretty quick. But the price tho? Ouch. My bank account is crying just *thinking* about it. Seriously, are these even worth it? Like, are they *walkable* art? Or just a really expensive way to get blisters? I guess it depends on your budget, and your personal comfort level when it comes to footwear. I’m not sure I could justify the cost, given how likely I am to trip and fall on a flat surface.
