Alexander McQueen, with all the skulls and crossbones, is not exactly the "people's brand." But every once in a while, even the worst brands come through with a banger or two. This season, McQueen rolled up on the murder-out footwear brigade and showed it's nothing to stunt with a ripple sole sneaker to begin and end all ripple sole sneakers in one fell swoop. A couple years ago, ripple soles started to gain traction, no pun intended, but the movement never really reached the streets. Real talk, I was kinda bummed because I had this pair of sand suede Caminando ripple sole postmans that looked really rugged and tough, but only got weird stares and no compliments. Today's version of me would have preferred the side eye, but back then, I felt like I should fit in aka be a swagless sheep with zero personality. Not anymore. With these sneakers, the ripple sole movement will never happen because the wave peaked with this pair. It well and truly cannot get better than these. All I can think of when I look at this is Happy Gilmore when he admits he once took off his skate and tried to stab someone. And if that trip back to Adam Sandler's glory days isn't enough for you, well, I don't know what is.
