tacky or not tuesday: brian atwood's balleto platform sandals

crystal-embellished clear plastic in a shoe? I wasn't so sure, but the black leather details sort of offsets the space age-ness of the shoe's upper and heel.

that said, though I thought these would look better actually on, when I saw the picture with the model I still wasn't sold...

tacky or not? I'm going to have to say tacky. but if you like them, they're on sale for $834, down from $2085 on netaporter!
