lame extension of geriatric hipster style. esp the white canvas ones. these are like a golden-girls glamorized version

yeah, agreeing with courtney. it really depends on what they're worn with.

They remind me of the purple keds I had as a kid made out of the same fabric as an umbrella. Man, I loved those shoes, but I would never wear them now.

maybe with jeans, but with shorts or a skirt they would make most people look like they have cankles

too much faux "poor child" irony that the williamsbuggers so dearly love, and also pretty much the same silhouette as jazz shoes

The silver ones are from the late, great Magic Shoes, the deadstock vintage shoe store on Bleecker that tragically closed a few months ago :(

scarlettholly: they're the same shoes, but the bottom pic is photoshopped to change around the colors.
