Default distressed sneakers

I was surprised at this!!

I suppose that they would be appropriate to go along with the "new" jeans that have been distressed.

Those go along with the pre holey jeans and the fake mud jeans. Both pairs of jeans will set you back and few hundred bucks.

I think these are cute for teens. Why would any adult want to dress like a teen mind set? I see many trying to. LOL

I still think one should "earn" the worn look!

And to think we turned up our noses at hand-me-downs that were raggedy, grungy-looking, and/or grubby looking!!!!!

So...clothing and accessories get more valuable the longer we wear it and the less that we care for it.

Loved Mike Rowe's response to these jeans. He often wore the "real thing" so I can see why this irritated him. Oh and I've got a pair in the wash that I will sell for half that price if anyone is interested except that they won't look like that when they come out of the wash. lol
