My lord, those are super cheesy…I don’t even think Vanilla Ice would have worn those back in 1990.

They would go with my Corvette Forum T-shirt and C5 hat!
I probably wouldn't buy these, but I was curious how much these cost. A quick google search revealed that there are actually a surprising number of different Corvette shoes out there. Who knew?

Who Knew Red Shoe ?
I'm a fan of anyone who expresses them self. I say go for it. Let that inner Johnny Depp out.
You only go around once so why not wear that Corvette shoe or whatever you want. Hey, Women pull it off and the most extreme becomes the chic to them so are we ( Corvette owners) chopped liver?

Vanilla Ice definitely wouldn't wear them. He's a 5.0 Mustang guy.

I've seen them sold as "#1 rated female repellent" and "Fashion Misfit brand ***** "must have" footwear".
These are nothing short of atrocious. And NB's have become the centerpiece for mocking Corvette owners.
"Player whites" should be left to teenage Europeans and NB has no business being on anyone's feet under the age of 70.
Your female counterparts and children will thank me for reccomending you avoid either purchase.

Corvette owners are not the only ones.
For curiosity, I was looking these up (on sale for only $79.95), but there are also named shoes for Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Toyota, Mustang, Mercedes, Porsche and undoubtedly others. Somehow, I missed this investment opportunity. 🙃
Although, like Hary Gahtoe said above, “express yourself”.

I'm disappointed there wasn't a link included in the post. How can I order without a link to the website?
