This is a pair of Christian Audigier sneakers that I purchased a year ago. I was a fan at the time, but that was before Mr. Audigier (a.k.a. Ed Hardy) allowed that Jon Gosselin character to hitch a ride. Now I’m not so sure. Ed Hardy crap is everywhere and hence has lost much of its allure for me. The one thing that may get these back on my feet is the fact that Madonna is supposedly teaming up with Audigier for a fashion line in the near future. (Which in my humble opinion is a huge step down from her usual perch… but I guess it still beats the Gap.)
