There is no way we would ever consider wearing a Teva Stiletto, but you want to know something? Even though they’re probably a counterfeiter’s concept product for now, these 4-inch tall Nike Dunks are pretty darn cool. Especially the purple ones. And the red ones. Plus, all of the styles sell for around $100, which isnâ€t too terrible for a Nike or a high heel. While we don’t support fakes, a lot of the styles are sold out which means someone’s buying. Something to take note of for the next sneaker collaboration.

Would you dare wear?

It was announced this week that Teva has partnered with Grey Ant, a New York City-based designer known for tongue-in-cheek interpretations of old trends, to create Teva high heels. They come in “Natural,” which is tan and has a buckle closure, and “Worlds Unite,” a black and white mash-up with – you guessed it – a Velcro closure. They go for $330. {the gloss, New High (M)art}

You can order the shoes by phone at 323-638-0271. {Daily Candy} They are also available online at New High (M)art, whose product page for these babies says New High (M)art is “proud” to exclusively present Teva Stilettos and includes the following copy:

It’s the classic “Hurricane” style sport mandal re-imagined as a STILETTO. This co-branded effort sees the Teva velcro-strap styling and grip-sole construction on a 4″ stacked heel. They’re calling it the most comfortable, performance high heel on the planet — we call it the most daring mash-up of the decade. This is anti-fashion at its purest. And so good when paired with socks.

A note at the bottom of the page adds, “*Not recommended for actual hiking, gardening, mountain climbing, or Phish concerts :).”

For once, weâ€re speechless. Especially because these things cost more than $300. The Teva Stilettoâ€s availability on New High (M)art seems to be as tongue-in-cheek as the shoeâ€s actual creation, but the high heels do legitimately exist and are for sale online, nonetheless. And we have a feeling there are people out there crazy enough or determined enough to be anti-fashion that they will purchase them. Hereâ€s the only silver lining to this situation: New High (M)art has limited quantities available. (Phew!)

While crop tops and corsets aren’t that much of a surprise, the order is a bit puzzling. Who knew that men thought pencil skirts were more promiscuous than miniskirts? Miniskirts show more leg, but perhaps the tight fit of pencil skirts wins out in the mind of the male. In addition, we’ve never really thought a knee-high boot was suggestive of anything (unless, of course, it’s a very high stiletto, worn with fishnets, and quite vixenish).

While this survey sheds some light upon male thinking, it also serves as further proof that women are often dressing to impress other women, not men. The subtleties of fashion are often lost upon straight males, so it’s not impossible to see how a lace, bodycon dress from Filthy Couture, for example, may be unfairly lumped into the same category as other bodycon dresses even if they’re sartorial worlds apart from one another. As Grazia noted, it really does come down to styling.

But most disturbing is the response to a later question. Regarding the appropriateness of outfits, some men responded that if they felt their girlfriend’s outfit were too promiscuous, she would not be “allowed” to wear it. ‘Really guys? We let you slide on the years old t-shirts that the Salvation Army passes over, but anything deemed too sexy isn’t allowed?

While there are important things missing from the survey  – like how many men were polled and when the responses were gathered (based on some, we’d hope they were leftovers from a poll in the 1950s), it does raise the question of how progressive guys really are when it comes to style. Hearkening back to Debrahlee Lorenzana, who was fired for “sexy” work attire, is it surprising to you that in 2010, in Western societies there are still questions about how much leniency women should be “allowed” in regards to personal expression via their wardrobes?
