Havaianas Makes Shoes Now? Who Knew?

 
I was browsing the web today and came across an ad for shoes made by Havaianas.

I'm a fan of Havaianas flip flops, as most people are. I used to favor the J. Crew kind back in the day but the hard rubber thong used to give me blisters. But I digress. When I came across the ad I thought it was a joke, so I clicked on it and lo and behold, it was real. Havaianas actually has a line of shoes and it's called the "Sole Collection". They also had a pretty fly Missoni collection of flip flops with gorgeous prints as well. But I digress...again.

Even though the upper is canvas, the sole is still the rubber sole typical on the brands iconic flip flop. They come in high-top and low-top sneakers, ballet flats, espadrilles and mary janes. The teeny-bopper look of them and the bubble gum colors pretty much guarantee that I won't buy them. Don't get me wrong. I think they're cute. Just not for me. What do you think about this new endeavor. Is it awesome? Or should they just stick to flip flops?
