Versace x Onitsuka Tiger is high-fashion laundering for gym shoes

Versace just announced a collaboration with Onitsuka Tiger to prove they can do casual without losing their gold-leaf soul. It is a performance of accessibility. We are watching a luxury house try to buy street cred from a Japanese heritage brand because they realized the algorithm is bored of four-inch heels. It is not a bridge between worlds. It is a four-hundred percent markup on a silhouette that was perfect when it cost eighty dollars. I am waiting for the Medusa head to be glued onto a pair of Crocs next.
