Rock & Republic Plain Wrap Stiletto: Love It or Hate It?

June 15, 2009

Rock & Republic has just released a new line for Fall, Plain Wrap, which has a lower price point — $35 to $198 — than its main collection. Each item (hoodies, jeans, leggings) is emblazoned with its name in capital letters. Case in point: this Plain Wrap Stiletto. "This is a new initiative with a new perspective for the consumer that wants fashionable basics with staying power,” said Michael Ball, founder and creative director of the company. Do you agree? Does this concept have staying power or is it lame?

i don't understand what's so tacky bout it. i would love to wear these on a casual occasion like Autrina Padrage has. It's a new pair of shoes that would catch attention!

funny, but i would never wear in public. can't even imagine a rocker outfit that would compliment them

It's not the fact that it says stiletto on it that bothers me so much, but the actual design of the word and how it clashes entirely with the shoe.

Hmm this is a very difficult choice. While I love this plain stiletto with its metal heel, I hate the white letters on the side that SCREAMS what it is. However, I think those who love the true style and spunk of the brand Rock & Republic would love this! It is kind of after all, a little rebellious. Sarah http://twitter.com/eblouissant

I'm (sort of) torn on this one. I think it looks silly on the shoe, but I was thisclose to buying the "T-SHIRT" in black from Nordy this weekend lol. It's super tacky on the shoes.

The shoe is actually nice without the huge white letters. If you want to make "fashionable basics with staying power," then do some fashionable basics that are worth staying around!

Dreadful! The shoe itself isn't too bad, but I don't understand the idea of plastering 'Stiletto' across your shoe? We know it's a stiletto!

There is nothing special about the shoe to begin with and putting the campy letters on it just makes it worse. The thing is, they're not even placed in a clever way, it looks like I went to Home Depot and did it myself.

this totally reminds me of that old gary larson the far side cartoon where the guy has painted "pants" on his pants, "dog" on his dog, "door" on his door etc., and the caption is, "This should clear things up around here"

the words just make it so tacky :(

if they removed the stiletto it would be nice

Why the heck would you want to wear heels that say stiletto on the side?! It reminds me of all the Target GO International collections where the designers feel the need to advertise "FOR TARGET" all over for everyone to see... nobody wants that displayed on their clothing/accessories. No thanks.
