Of course the 'Slash is a media whore' club wont quote those lyrics now since its Axl/GNR doing it even though it's the same fucking thing.

Yeah, let's blame Axl Rose for Guns N' Roses INSPIRED shoes.

And seriously... It's not like Axl, Slash or whoever has complete or any significant control whatsoever over things like these either.

Even if they were to be official merchandise it's not necessarily something that they condone. Maybe it's just not in their hands.

I'm not blaming anybody. Just pointing out the hypocrisy. If these were Slash inspired shoes instead of GNR, people would be going ape shit.

the AFD album cover inspired the colouring of the shoes would be my guess

I guess you're right.  I was wondering where the purple came from.  I forgot there was purple in the AFD color.  I was thinking UYI II.  I guess the colors work for the UYI's too.

If I saw anyone wearing those shoes, I certainly wouldn't stop in my tracks and ask them if they were GNR shoes (at least before I read this thread).

They look more like Liberace shoes than GNR shoes. All that's missing is pink shoelaces....
