Zara, the popular Spanish fast-fashion brand, has found itself at the receiving end of scathing reviews and ruthless jokes after unveiling a new shoe design on their website. The latest offering, priced at $60, has left netizens absolutely flabbergasted and in stitches.
Described by many as a "monstrous" pair of shoes, the design has garnered extensive online ridicule for its seemingly outlandish design, with many taking to Twitter to voice their disdain and disappointment. Jokes have ranged from merciless comparisons with certain sci-fi and mythical creatures to tongue-in-cheek suggestions of prison terms for the brand's designers.
Given the notorious reputation that Zara has garnered over the years for pushing fashion boundaries, many believed that this offering was nothing out of the ordinary. However, as it turns out, this shoe has managed to defy even the expectations of well-seasoned fashion enthusiasts and observers. Zara's penchant for courting controversy has achieved new heights with the launch of this product.
In addition to their personal opinions on the shoe's aesthetics, a number of users have demanded action against the brand for unleashing what they have described as an "eyesore" on unsuspecting consumers. At this point, the reactions are oscillating between pure amusement and genuine concern for the welfare of anyone who might be enticed into buying such shoes.
While a good percentage of potential customers have openly denounced the shoe's design, no response has been registered from the company so far. Zara has consistently showcased itself as an open-minded entity, never shying away from taking bold decisions on its fashion offerings. Hence, reaction from the company might simply lie in silence and letting the product stand as one of their more unique entities.
