HOT OR NOT: DEREON SNEAKERS

hotnotsneak.jpg

Who knew? Beyonce’s Dereon line makes sneakers for juniors which are available via Zappos.com. Ranging from $59-82.00, I sure didn’t know they were making hi-top sneakers until someone sent me a link here.

This is certainly a colorful and eclectic range – I’m not a sneaker person in general so, I automatically decline. But, would you cop these?

  1. Ahhh, their Ok, depending on your sense of style.

  2. SELECT

    terrible. they look like a remixed version of the chuck taylors. nothin innovative at all. and those colors are hideous.

  3. IAMDARKAQUA

    ROFL…Miss Tina wrong for that mess! Her Creole voodoo can’t make me buy those Payless Specials…I REBUKE YOUR POWERS!!!

  4. Lets be Real

    Its all about the person rocking em the same as with any style. Someone could make these look homey and then someone else Im sure would make em look fab! Colors are in…. we shall see….

  5. I can~t really say if there HOT or NOT. If ur a sneaker junkie then maybe u~ll love them. Im a heels girl, but when I do ROCK sneakers I like my KICKS unique, for example some Lacoste, Bapes, sneakers without laces or my c-threw Nikes. I personally wouldn~t rock these Kicks Dereon is still a new brand and there doing too mch too soon. Get ur SALES UP FIRST.

  6. whyaskwhy

    I agree with nbr 6

  7. kimwill02

    Probably the animal print ones, the rest are horrible.

  8. godschild504

    its nothing about them cute, not because they are from House oif Deron, it don’t matter who made them they are just ugly, IMO

  9. papi

    lol@4 just what I was thinking all the creo witches gona be ronkin it! umm hell na mis knowles I aint tryna know ya hustle but NO lmfao when saw that s$!@ I almost pisst myself. her mama need ta be stopped I’m talking locked up 4 that

  10. carla

    these sneakers are butt ugly illllllll who would wear them????/

  11. NOT…Especially the high tops…I wouldn’t wear these if they were free….

  12. MELIKEY

    The pink and the black ones are ugly… The others are okay but I will not buy them.

  13. Ms. Bmore

    I’m a sneaker head, so I think the green and black ones are hot–but I would never wear a brandname/lettering plastered on my sneakers. Only stripes, the swish, or neither. Or a little tag with the name on it (I give the Simmons sisters credit for adding a just a little tag that says Pastry). They didn’t plaster the name on it like Beyonce

  14. righthandup

    i hate their insignia. and i REFUSE to give these imposters my $$! not that i can afford Prada, Chanel and the likes……………however, i cannot stand these fly-by-night designers. where do they come from; just trying to increase their income stream
    i’d buy a pr of Pastry first……………. and that would never happen

  15. papi

    I mean knock ya hustle lol but ture beyonce fanatics gona be rockin em. God help and@ 6 ya comment was so on point! next the beyonce car

  16. They got the nerve to price these at $59.00-82.00…

  17. Krayzee

    they look just like Kitsons! Just a watered down version

  18. Brokey McPoverty

    nope. not cute. and ive never been one to care for lables one way or the other–whether they’re there or not, doesnt really bother me–but in this case, having beyonce’s poopdiapered nephew’s name plastered all over my feet somehow offends my sensibilities. they fail.

  19. keishe83

    Oye Oye Horrible’. Start over Knowles clan.

  20. Ms. Bmore

    LOL@ 15…actually Pastries are around the same price range…but Pastries are classy; Dereon is trashy. I refuse to be a walking advertisement for a company. The only name I would wear on my shoe is my own name on a custom pair of Nike’s or Chucks. Or I would wear “Barack Obama” on some custom sneaks ….not some family name I care nothing about.

  21. Stacy H

    those shoes are horrible. I saw the neon hightops in the mall about a month ago and I damn near had a flashback to 1986. I know the eightes fashion is making a comeback (to a certain degree), but dammit not that hard. I bet Beyonce would not wear those to an event, so why push that crap on the public? I am not a Beyonce hater, but some people should not get into the fashion game. they think that because they are a celebrity, people will scoop that crap up….not!

  22. Automatic

    Are the Knowles fucking kidding us? Complete garbage.

  23. It almost seems it doesnt matter what we think…see how big the name is? Kids nowadays will buy it simply because of the branding….and thats the culture of youth and marketing. The name is being branded in their young, impressionable brains and the label folk know it. Kids aren’t buying a sneaker. (If thats what we’re calling that monstrosity. lol) They’re buying into a lifestyle. Why else would the name be so big? If the shoe could sell on looks alone, having those big a$$ letters on it wouldn’t be necessary but some of my students no matter how UGLY ish is will buy and rock something simply because it says Rocawear…or because Ciara wore it in a video. This product is aimed at people who have not yet found their individual sense of style…folks who want to feel associated with Beyawnce…feel akin to her….folks who stand behind a label because it goes beyond looking good….it makes them feel good…feel worthy, not like I had on a great GREEN DRESS that bought out my eyes and figure but more like ‘Oooh girl, I was wearing my Versace shades and my Louboutins!’ And that there is stuff i hear coming from ADULTS!!!!

    But im not judging cause i sho nuff was tryning to get my broke a$$ paws on some namebrands in high school. Shoot I was down with a Brooklyn boosting crew and everything until i realized that ‘Calvin Kleins no friend of mine…don’t want nobody’s name on my behind!’ lol….of course said rhymer contradicts himself in the ever popular ‘My Adidas’

    Wordblaze
    (Getn off soapbox…for now..lol)

  24. lihara

    these sneakers are UGLY it seems as if they just put their names of some sneakers amateurs created to get a quick buck bc it say “Dereon”

  25. Music Junkie

    The design and the color scheme of the shoes are all wrong. They look cheap. Ms. Tina should have considered collabarating with experienced sneaker designers before attempting to launch something like this, because this is just pure trash.

  26. I like Dereon’s style and Im liking both those flat sneakers especially with the leopard print and white colour graphics….BUT Im not so sure on those hi-top ones :/ But I get where Dereon are coming from though lol…

  27. Music Junkie

    Whoa @ Wordblaze. That’s real talk right there, people.

  28. Nee-Nee

    I’m sorry but…………..OH LAWD THOSE ARE HORRID!!!!!!!!!!!,now on to a more positive note,i’m glad to see black woman making money,it makes me happy.

  29. metis

    I’m a sneaker chick and no.this is all wrong.focus on the design a lil’ more and hide that damn name.Dereon is not Adidas or Nike ffs.never will be.

  30. FASHIONESQUE

    i dont think they are nice on grown ppl but they would look cute on da youngins. but i can also see that there are a lot of nice things for the kids dat are a lil cheaper.

  31. Monie Luv

    The two pair closet to the right are nice, but the two pair to the left are a bit much.

    They look almost cartoonish with that big ass logo stamped on the side.

    I never liked clothes that had a visable logo on it, especially a logo that frickin big.

    So, yeah, the Chuck Taylor ripoffs can take a backseat, but the other two probably will be popular.

  32. Marquest

    I know beyonce wont be rocking these i have never seen her in anything but pumps if she rock these ill but 10 pairs lol

  33. sexual chocolate

    do you honestly think that beyonce would wear those shoes?

  34. SoGood

    NOT!!! Those sh*t are ugly. But I don’t wear sneakers anyway. lol

  35. flatbush vixen

    Lmao @ 4! i agree those sneaks r a hot ass mess!

  36. whouwannab22

    suck…and her jeans blow too, dereon is sooooo cheddar cheesy

  37. evelyn

    nawww…i dont see beyonce wearin’ em …i dont know why she would expect the consumers to wear them !

  38. MISSISSIPPI G_DDAMN

    Damn, those rejects look like Wal-Mart dust bin specials.

    Shyts are mad ugly. But then again, Dere-ass is known for cheezey.

  39. Elle

    Can we say Chuck Taylor’s and Alice & Olivia for Payless? LOL They don’t even care enough to deal in detailing…they’re just slapping the name on it, hoping black folk will be suckered in (you know they’ve pegged you as their target audience…).

  40. Jay Peso

    Tianna,

    I was about to wife you based on your great sense of fashion until you said you are not a sneaker person. What’s up with that?

  41. Tea

    Those high tops are the wackest things goin!!!

  42. ALL THE DEREON SNEAKERS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE BASED ON A DARE…

  43. Umm....

    Now look reeeeeeal close at the logo. What does that look like to you?

  44. fagetit

    oh lord, Beyonce needs to stop. House of Dooky would put their name on anything. It isn’t about design or quality but getting dumb ass people wanting to “dress like Beyonce”. What a fucking joke. This is why the bitch has a million endorsements, not because she’s hot, but because people are dumb and are going to say “Beyonce said this is cute, so I’m going to where it to be cute like her. Please. Stop being a tool.

    Black people it isn’t about the fashion but the careless quality and the fact that Beyonce and her mom see less than 10% of the profits of House of Dooky, just like the rest of hip hop (celebrity) clothing labels. The rest of the money goes to old rich White men.

    We need to stop giving our money to these people.

  45. Ms. Maye

    SOMEONE IS TRYNA GO OVERBOARD!!! ;0

  46. Amaria

    Co-sign with #5, but IMO they’re not hot, im not a sneaker person anyway

  47. Dame

    Hate it the colors the high tops are all wrong and I am an 80s baby and I use to wear L.A. Gear high tops with the lights but some trends should stay in the past. I like me some Bee but she needs to go back to the drawing because this is wack.

  48. charlee

    looks like sumthing sum1 threw up on….. eewwwww

  49. CHYRELL.NiCOLE

    i love beyonce to death, but i am NOT feelin these shoes. they hurt my eyes. bee knows that normally i would support her, but i just cant do it wit these sneakers lol sorry =/

  50. These remind me of my old LA Gear, Circa 1986.. LMAO! Oh well…I still respect her hustle tho…

    Toodles

  51. Grace

    House of Dereon clothes and shoes are a joke! Their jeans are the ok but they run so small. I think the jeans that Beyonce wear are the largest size they have. I am a size 10 and could not get my thigh in the largest size they came in. When they first came out, they were trying to sell those jeans in Macy’s for $138. Then they sat on the rack for months & went down to $78. The sales girl told me that no one could fit the jeans. You have to be tall with very slender thighs and just a little lump in the backside. Now that is what Mrs. Tina call making clothes for curvy women. Tina made her clothes for women built like Rhianna not Beyonce.

    The reason why women get mad at their man…

    @ 46 FAGETIT

    House of Dooky – LOL!!

    DAMN, YOU NAILED IT!

    THERE IS NO NEED FOR FURTHER COMMENTS.

  54. N

    no, i’m an adult. so i wouldn’t wear sneakers made for kids specifically.

  55. Dont Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

    I don’t care for the high tops, but the others are cute. They look like any other fashion sneaker.

  56. TT

    WTF?????????????????? HORRIBLE. Just HORRIBLE

  57. dee dee

    These shoes are so ugly.
