You Can't Eat Sneakers

Today something got my attention and made me worry, even more than usual, about the future. It was an ad for a pair of Burberry sneakers currently selling at Saks Fifth Avenue for $759 a pair. (See photo)


Okay, they're cute, right? But let's be real: A family of four could eat for two, maybe two-and-a-half months with that money instead of having some rich asshole walking around in them, stepping into dogshit and whatever. Why would anyone want them? Why would anyone make them? And who is the target audience? 

The only thing worse is the pair shown above by the same manufacturer. These cost $950, so now maybe that family of four is eating for three months, making me wonder: Will people be eating shoes in the future?
