Sneaker wedge trend: Already done before its begun

Two months ago I posted a sneaker option for the ladies that wanted a sporty looking sneaker with a chic edge. Which are the Isabel Marant sneaker wedges. Now since the arrival of this particular sneaker wedge other brands are hopping on the sneaker wedge train such as this Italian brand Serafini's which is a complete knockoff of Isabel Marant's sneakers........

And now Nike has jumped on too with their version feat. Liberty Fabrics.......

Now granted Isabel Marant was and is NOT the first person to do this trend. So I won't be one of those people who act like she created this look and everyone after her is a follower. But since she is relevant in today's age I will reference her sneaker wedges. I think its good that other brands are doing an inspired and more affordable version but I already see where this is going and the outcome isn't good. I know before I said I was feeling it but now, not so much. I am already tired of this look and it hasn't really popped off to the masses yet. I am still a fan of the Isabel Marant's version but even with her version I'm still tired of it. I am definitely sure more of these sneaker wedges will emerge from different brands in the coming months, which like I stated before its all good but I just can't. I know some you may or will disagree with me and call me a negative Nancy but I call it like I see it. But then again this is what happens with trends right? What are your thoughts?

Isabel Marant Sneakers for the upscale sneaker lover

I know I usually post casual shoe releases from Nike, Adidas etc but these particular sneakers are for the fashion forward sneaker lover. I first got wind of these Isabel Marant sneakers from jewelry designer Melody Ehsani's blog. When I first saw these, I wasn't feeling these too tough but then the gum sole on them is what kept me mesmerized. The silhouette does give essence of a high heel, so this sneaker would be ideal for the high heel wearer who wants a simple yet fashionable sneaker.

These sneakers are available at Barneys, Net-a-Porter and Lgarconne for $680 a pop. Since they come with a hefty price tag, Ash Shoes has a similar version called the Bowie which are sold on Karmaloop for $225.00. Check it....

I'm feeling them both. What about you guys?
