I would never buy a pair of shoes that cost $1800. I would never buy a pair of shoes made out of custom grown and patterned stingray skin.

But I would buy a pair of plain $18 sneakers and paint them just for fun.

I would like to make a pair of shoes from highway gators for free. That would make me happy.
