TOTALLY different imo

It's not uncommon in the sneaker world for artists, graphic designers, and musicians to collaborate to make sneakers. These were designed by HORT, who do most (if not all) of Booka Shade's record sleeves/cover art. These actually look good.

The Tiesto shoes look shit by comparison. Had he and Reebok actually gotten a better graphic designer to make them, they may have been able to pull it off.

Aside from the ugly "MSTRKRFT" on the heel, I quite like it.

you're missing the point

it's not the product, it's the marketing

SUPER EXCLUSIVE

OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY

etc

Isn't that the point of the shoe? With only 100 being made I'd say its pretty damn exclusive. I'm not a sneakers guy, but I'd imagine any type of extremely limited, musician-artist collaboration sneakers would get marketed in a similar fashion. Collectors probably love this type of stuff, so they'll be able to charge a fortune for them.

I think they're pretty cool tbh, and I can't imagine anyone who would say no to having their own super limited shoe design.

I know, was just goofing around. They were made more to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the sneakers themselves than to wh0re the artists asked to participate and design color themes they like.
