smart lookin'--
effect of the yellow
Exclusiveness factor of such marketing, - NOT !

MINI: Best horse for the buck!

 

Well there's the MINI Motion Puma shoe. And the designer Yves Behar did these Birkenstocks: http://www.footprintsarchitect.com/indexfla.htm

 

See, this is the kind of thing that makes me want to get far, far, away from MINI. It's this idiotic cross marketing lifestyle design crap. IT'S A CAR!!! Why in the world would I want my car to look like my freakin' shoes!!?? (or vice versa) :evil: :evil: ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH.

 

...and why on earth would anyone (outside of a hiphop video) want to actually wear a shoe that looked like that? it's disgusting looking!!

 

Land Rover does it, Ferarri, Jaguar and BMW have Formula 1 clothing sections in Harrods in London. I'll admit I'm probably the type of idiot they're looking for...I already own 2 pairs of Pumas, and a few MINI shirts. I didn't buy Honda or VW shirts in the past...but I actually like some of the stuff they've done with the MINI motoring gear.

I'll be wearing it in about a month's time (or another pair of similar Pumas). And MINI hooking up with Puma is a great thing - there are few brands that exude the sort of smart metro style and pure hipness that Puma has these days. And yes Yves Behar is a baddass.

To each their own.

BTW you can see the MINI here: http://www.bridger.us/mini/?Y=2003&M...umaMINICooperS

I'm going to have to agree with RG on this one....those are some ugly shoes. While I'd drive the car, you couldn't pay me enough to go out in public with those on my feet. But that's just my opinion.

 

I really like puma's shoes but I dont like MINI USA right now...

Anyone know when that MINI will be in CA?

 

Not a big fan of the Footprints style. Love the MINI Motion Pumas though. I have a pair of Puma Mostro Synthetics that I use as driving shoes. Love them. Probably pick up a pair of Circat MC to replace them.

The Puma MINI Cooper looks great though. A lot like my B/B MC. I never thought a white roof would look good, but that car pulls it off.

 

Did anyone notice that while they say that it's a Cooper S, it has all Cooper running gear including bumper and hood?

And no scoop!

 

That's kinda what I meant by "hood"...
