WTFashion: Dolce and Gabbana Releases Wedge Sandals In Wicker and Python With Leaves and Appliqué For Over $6K

Many designers have been receiving a lot of backlash for their lack of creativity when it comes to fashion. Some designers are getting carried away with the overpriced and poorly designed pieces.

In today’s WTFashion, Dolce and Gabbana have released their wedge sandals in wicker and python with leaves and appliqué for a whopping $6,395.

The luxury designer describes the sandals as “The Amazon rainforest and heavenly islands are at the base of the Spring-Summer collection. The Bianca wedge sandals turn into a real artisanal jewel. Elegant and feminine, they are made of python with an internal wicker structure that is entirely wrapped in leaves of different dimensions, made of satin and painted by hand. They are embellished with hand-painted tropical parrots made of resin.”

Would you consider this as an item that you have to see on someone or is it just a “NO-GO?” Would you splurge?

Michael Jordan Awarded Over $46,000 In Lawsuit Against Chinese Sportswear Company

Qiaodan, a sportswear and shoe manufacturer, has to pay Michael Jordan over $46,000 for using the Jordan name, emotional damage, and legal damage.

Qiaodan, which means Jordan in Chinese, has over 200 trademarks filed, all related to Jordan. Many of them were filed more than five years ago, making it difficult because trademarks can only be disputed in China within a five-year timeline. So, the court is unable to order them to stop using the name completely.

According to CBS Sports, Jordan has filed 80 lawsuits against the company. The Jordan brand believes that the company “had the intention of causing or allowing public confusion” and that using the number 23 and his sons’ names was to mislead customers. Qiaodan argues that the Jordan name is a common western surname.

Cardi B Apologizes For Depicting Hindu Goddess Durga In New Reebok Shoe Line Ad

Cardi B apologizes after receiving backlash for depicted a Hindu Goddess in her new Reebok campaign.

The Bronx native’s new shoe line hit stores tomorrow, but she’s been receiving some negative attention from India after one of the ads for the sneakers showed Cardi B depicted as Hindu Goddess Durga. For those who don’t know, Durga is seen as a Goddess of strength and is most often pictured holding weapons in her eight hands. In Cardi’s photo, the artist is seen holding her new Club C tennis shoe. As soon as Cardi’s mentions started going up, she immediately took the photo down.

Cardi eventually took to Instagram and addressed the issue first-hand. The 28-year-old said she never intended to offend anyone and that she understands how some fans may have felt about the photo.

“When I did the Reebok shoe, the creator was telling me that I was going to represent a goddess that represents strength, femininity, and liberation, and that’s something that I love, but if people think I’m offending their culture or religion, I want to say I’m sorry,” says Cardi. “That was not my intent. I do not like disrespecting anyone’s religion.”

In the video, she wrote out the caption: “Sorry guys .I didn’t mean to offend or disrespect anybody’s culture.I can’t change the past but I’ll be more cautious for the future .Love you guys.”

LaMelo Ball Signs Shoe Deal With PUMA

NBA’s most talented prospect, LaMelo Ball, 19, has signed a multi-year shoe endorsement contract with PUMA.

“I believe the brand is the perfect partner for me because PUMA will allow me to just be myself. I want to be 100-percent authentic whether that’s playing basketball or showing off my personal style and that’s what I want to do with PUMA,” said Ball.

Ball will collaborate with PUMA to create products that blend sports, culture, music, and fashion.

“I know some people think I am mysterious or ‘not from here,’ and I might have to agree. I am someone who likes to be different and consider myself to be one of one. That’s the message I want to share in my upcoming projects with PUMA,” said Ball

The two will also work together to support various programs that will encourage youth to stay active through equipment and clothing, basketball skill camps, donations, court refurbishments, and more.

Ball’s first product launch with PUMA will be on November 18th, coinciding with the NBA Draft.
