THESE ‘GOLDEN GOOSE Distressed Sneakers’ are currently on sale in Barneys of New York.

They’ll set you back $585 for a pair – which is just over €522. They’ve been intentionally dirtied up to resemble those old runners you’d find somewhere in the garage or the back of your wardrobe.

And they’re coming in for some amount of slagging

And these particular ones have some duct tape on the front and back

Over the last couple of days they have gone super viral on Twitter
