What were they thinking?

Is it just me, or is Converse making some of THE ugliest shoes around these days? And at $100 a pop...are you kidding me? Converse couldn't pay me $100 to wear these things!! I'd love you know what you guys think. Hit me up with a comment. (And I know that soliciting comments is a foolproof way to ensure that no one will actually comment, but I'm willing to take that risk).
