Yall. I feel confused when I see these Nike gladiator shoes. I think that they are supposed to be ‘athletic’ but also ‘trendy.’ I am not sure if they were designed to give your feet/body adequate support. I think it might be for people who are ‘only interested in looking kewl’ but also possibly for ‘people who play xtreme sports.’ Haven’t really followed Xtreme Sports since Tony Hawk died in a skateboarding accident-prank with Tom Green.
These gladiator Nikes are for:
a) streetwear urban bros
b) streetwear urban bros from suburbia/Los Angeles
c) LeBron James
d) Kobe Bryant
e) replacing the ‘chill soccer sandal’
f) going to build a time machine and sell them 2 actual gladiators
g) something about the show “AMERICAN GLADIATORS”
h) wrestlers [via Mickey Rourke/Brooke Hogan]
i) boxers [via Manny "Pac Man" Pacquiao]
j) the homosexual demographic
k) the now-defunct ‘metrosexual’ demographic
l) bros who wear Ed Hardy
m) bros who want to look chill but also be ready to fight
n) giving away for free at Coachella Pool Partie
o) black people
p) Choose.Your.Own.Response
Confused about gladiator sandals/shoes.

Not sure who I even am any more, and what brand represents me the most/best.

oh no!
i had that design in mind i think when i was trying to think of some ‘kewt’ shoes for post-avril sk8r grls to wear in the summer!
when i ‘cruise’ on my landyacht i find i need a good shoe for when i am going ‘hardcore’ but then need a shoe stylish and ’sandal’y enough to pull it off plus hot feet in the summer makes you glow and smell funnie [sorrie converse its true]

definitely the summer footwear of choice for girls with a vaguely MIA/Santigold/ironic 80’s aesthetic
to be worn with acid washed cut offs, neon am ap deep v t, contrasting/clashing neon wayfairers and large gold jewelry

Think the gladiators like Leonitis would appreciate these. Might of seen these in the 900 movie. via 300/Leonitis
And I should get credit for coming up with the HRO Merchandise idea! via comment in HRO Reader Survey.
