Michelle Obama Wears $540 Designer Sneakers to Feed the Poor

April 29, 2009: Michelle Obama's sneakers - $540. Feeding the poor - priceless.

It's a first lady faux pas -- wearing expensive, high-fashion French designer sneakers to a food bank.
Michelle Obama wore the sneakers, made by Lanvin, while helping feed the poor at a Washington food bank on Wednesday. The pricetag on the footwear? A cool $540.
Keds, they're not.
The sneakers, which come in denim and satin, are a favorite of comic Ellen DeGeneres and rapper Kanye West -- and they're "certainly not a reflection of the poor economy," said FOX News' Noelle Watters, host of iMag Style.
"She paired the kicks with a much more reasonably priced cardigan from J. Crew similar to the one she's worn in the past," Watters said. "And quite honestly, the usually well-styled Michelle didn't match. While her over-priced designer sneaks were gray and pink, her sweater was a gold argyle style. A definite fashion faux pas."
According to the New York Daily News, the first lady of style likely got her sneakers through Ikram, the Chicago retailer that usually outfits her.
Obama's style helped catapult her into the 93rd spot of Maxim's "eyeball-searing, fantasy-fulfilling, brain-exploding" Hot 100 list, which was announced Friday.
The first lady's sense of fashion has received considerable media attention. During her trip to Europe last month to accompany President Obama to the G20 summit, her fashion choices and protocol-breaking touch of the Queen of England nearly received as much ink as the summit itself.
The White House did not return a message seeking comment.:spew:

Uhh, the Obamas are millionaires in their own right, sans government chump change. If she wants to wear 500.00 sneakers, that's her right. Isn't this your most prevalent theory, at least when it involves you. I guess we'll never see you feeding the poor though, EH?

"WHATS YOUR POINT". I wear $200 shoes and i'm know where near a millionaire. So if she wants to wear $500 thats her choice. What a pointless topic.

And that's exactly what they did with Palin's wardrobe. Hell, Med was all over Palin on this issue like white on rice.

I don't give a shit how much her shoes cost she paid for them with her own money. Money she earned in her made up job where her pay went up every time Barry moved up the ranks. But nevermind that they really give a fuck about all the middle class sheep right. I hope all you morons enjoy that $15 tax break a week your going to need it when your electric bill goes up 30% due to cap and trade.

I've never owned any piece of clothing costing more than 100.00, well one suit, but that is actually 2-3 pieces. I did own a pair of cowboy boots once that cost 89.00, back in my youth, probably would be over a hundred now days. I see clothes as a necessity, either for warmth or to cover your ass. I'd be perfectly comfortable to walk the beach naked as the day I was born, but there are these dang things called laws, probably conjured up by men with small dicks. The fact that she wore those shoes probably didn't even occur to her that some asshole reporter would take pictures and go looking for a price tag. Michelle Obama is one of the least pretentious 1st ladies we've ever had. Shooting her down over her shoes is a very assholian thing to do, that's right, it was an asshole minimalist that brought that to the Countries attention. You right wing losers need to find a new philosophy. The one you've got doesn't seem to be working.

I got a more important question

Who cares?

(Though I wouldn't pay $10 for those ugly things, so I think she's imbecilic to have paid $540 for them.)

I'm pretty sure she could of afforded those shoe's before she became first lady. She is a Lawyer who graduated from Harvard. & Princeton.

Never said they looked good in the first place. I said she could "afford them before becoming the first lady".
