Back in the day, I believe I was deprived of what then seemed like a divine right to the ownership of a pair of Spice Girl shoes. I was always of the notion that these shoes defied the laws of gravity, thanks to incessantly watching the Spice Girls strut and sashay in these bad boys without toppling over like a bunch of bowling pins.
Like every glorious thing in fashion, these shoes have made a huge comeback - sooner than I thought even. Self proclaimed fashionistas all over the world have been donning this trend, taking them to new heights, literally. Although they are not the exact same design (they seem more refined now) as before they do seem to pay homage to the original sneaks. I mentioned to a friend the other day that I would consider turning to a pair of Buffalos - the then quasi "Spice shoe"(or nemesis if you will) - just to set the tone. With that being said, I doubt I'm ready for such a commitment. I've tried my luck out with a pair of Creepers I finally managed to score in December. Although very 80s-esque and rather eccentric, that's about as high as I'll go. Even though I'm not gutsy enough for them, I do really appreciate this look on the runway as well as on the streets.
