Jul 2 2007Kickbar diamonds for your shoes
Are you a ridiculous human being? Then you'll enjoy Kickbars, which are jewel-encrusted shoelace clips made with emeralds, sapphires, rubies, or diamonds set in white gold. The Kickbar features a 2 carat rectangular bar fitted with 54 diamonds and costs $7,500. Although I can't figure out who the market for this is. Anybody dumb enough to buy a $7,500 shoelace clip couldn't possibly have $7,500 saved up. Heck, I'd be surprised if they had $7.50 saved up. The only thing they'd have in their savings account is a half-eaten hamburger.

This makes about as much sense as rims that keep spinning when you stop your vehicle.

I've been doing this for YEARS! Only difference is, I hot glue my diamonds DIRECTLY to the shoe lace. Ball til I fall.

this stuff is as retarded as using teeth grills and all those stupid diamond filled dollar signs and crap like that

Well, that's one way to beat those walking blues.

Pah, this is just tat for the filthy proles. If I really want to impress my dinner date I just get Jeeves to coat me in ambrosia and I roll about in my vat of spare diamonds.
True story... if you replace; glue with treacle, diamonds with gummy bears and Jeeves with Helga the 20stone German exchange student who lives in my basement.

Having the diamonds there is essential if you're a secret agent. If some bad guy with a laser beam tries to cut off your foot you can reflect the beams back at his face!

Diamonds on shoelaces are so passe! The really rich bling their disposables like the $27,000 coffee filter with Plainum rim and princess cut diamonds.
Rich ain't rich til you're throwing wealth away... like the Government.

Thank God for tiny jewels, white gold and glue!
How else would the people who stop, bend down and check our shoes in the street know of our blingin' new "Kickbars"?!
HELLA COOL!

You know I only blow guys who have the bills to pay for these skillz. Ahh who am I kidding, I would blow anybody.

Why the hell would I pay to put bling in my shoes when I could buy five Chinese hookers for that much money?

I have to say I honestly love these. I`d buy them if I had that kind of money. They look great, what can be cooler, 7500$ worth of diamonds on 50$ sport shoes?

Now my diamonds need odour-eaters.

I can't afford a half-eaten cheeseburger with what's in my savings account :(
