So... more misogynistic
So... more misogynistic science fiction marketing. No sizes for women. I wear a womens 6 or a mens 4 and actually wouldn't have minded trying to get a pair of those.
While it's true they are
While it's true they are woefully size-restrictive, the shoe itself is an Airwalk collectors item and isn't really meant to be worn day-to-day. I say cop your pair, Karen. They're still an awesome talk-piece. "Hey, that's mint in box!"
