Recently, shoe brands are uploading some weird pair of shoes on their websites which they thing can become a new trend in fashion industry, but they instead become a joke. This time a show company tried to glorify poverty by releasing a really cheap looking shoe. Golden Goose, an Italian Shoe Brand, manufactured the Superstar Tape Sneaker which are worn out, dusty and taped-up.
