We live in a world of cultural appropriation and whitewashing in many industries, including fashion and music.  So what about these shoes?  White paint on brown leather.  Is this whitewashing black culture in some way?  You tell me.  A mix of cultures with these classical shoes, lovely leather by the way.  It is interesting to think about how hip hop became part of the white man’s game.  Here’s a nice pair of shoes for a music executive, do you think?
