It doesn't say whether or not they will come in both men's and women's sizes. I like them, but purely for nostalgic reasons. The prettiest purple athletic shoe I've ever seen.

Why was I expecting this shoe to have a high heel?

Yep, now that's a sneaker Prince would wear!

i don't like them, i would expect far more bling, although is the sole glittery? that's cool

Just looks like a purple sneaker to me.

purple converse with a pic of prince would be neat....

Followed by the 'She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah' inspired Puma Beatles.... when was Purple Rain out again?

These look better and i have them... will be rocking them to one of the upcoming shows in NJ and NY

there isn’t a Barkleyism that’s the true antithesis of ‘Turrible’, these new kicks certainly represent the complete opposite of bad. An all-purple Charles Barkley retro has been a long time coming, and with contemporary fashions skewing toward the simplest of self-expressions, it’s fitting to see the Nike Air Max CB 94 release in a combination of Varsity Purple and the new Ink shade of violet. These could just as easily pass as a Decepticons AM CB 34, but with that inspiration already used, we get to enjoy these in all their regal glory.

Nothing about them really signifies the purple rain influence aside from the color which sucks, but I love pumps and would get these if they weren't so expensive.

At put his symbol discreetly on there or somethin to let ppl know where the inspiration came from. To me it just looks like another pair of purple kicks

Sneaker companies have been releasing "tribute" colorways for years...and usually they don't use the logo of the "inspiration" behind the kicks. Probably for copyright reasons.

For example, this (ugly) New Balance is obviously utilizing the 7-Eleven colors.

I think they're ugly

But then again I find a lot of Jordans and other popular shoes people my age seem to love ugly, so it may just be my taste.

I have a pair of purple checkered Vans slip ons, a limited edition of those with the symbol would be sweet.

Yeah, I don't get it either. At least put a raindrop on 'em somewhere. Or maybe the Reebok logo in the Purple Rain font?
