First off, Nordstrom.com is apparently slinging them with free shipping and returns, which is, like, a major win. Especially if you’re indecisive like me and order three different sizes just to be *sure*. (Don’t judge, we’ve all been there). And hey, 15% off beauty products until March 30th? Might as well grab some fancy face cream while you’re at it, right? Treat yo’self!
But back to the shoes. What I’m seeing is a mix of stuff. You got your classic white sneakers, your black sneakers (because, duh, they go with everything), and then BAM! The iconic Burberry Check. Honestly, that check pattern is either a total flex or a total disaster depending on how you rock it. There’s no in-between, folks. No middle ground. You either own it or it owns you.
Then there’s the whole “men’s” versus “women’s” thing. Like, okay, yes, there are “luxury shoes for women” with boots and sandals and all that jazz. But the men’s section sounds way more interesting, to be honest. Loafers *and* “new sneaker silhouettes”? Embossed lettering? I’m kinda diggin’ that. Especially that “Box sneaker” thing.
Speaking of the Box sneaker… that description, though? “Italian-made,” “smooth calf leather,” “Equestrian Knight Design,” “barbed wire hardware at the laces.” Woah. Talk about fancy pants. It’s almost too much, ya know? Like, are you trying to sell me a shoe or a medieval knight’s armor? And “archive Burberry lettering” on the rubber soles? Okay, I’m kind of obsessed with that detail. Imagine leaving tiny little Burberry footprints everywhere you go. Iconic. But honestly, who’s even looking at the bottom of your shoes?
The “mesh-lined style” part also kinda gets me. Like, are we prioritizing breathability? That’s cool, I guess. Nobody wants sweaty feet in their designer sneakers. But barbed wire hardware? Seriously? Is it actually *barbed* wire? I’m picturing myself snagging my socks on that all day. Maybe not the most practical choice. But hey, fashion, right? Sometimes you gotta suffer for the drip.
The lace-up closure is kinda self-explanatory. Like, duh, it has laces. Unless they’re secretly held on by unicorn tears and quantum physics, I’m not sure what else to say about that.
