It was only a matter of time before these bad boys would be copied to your local low end retailers. The Balenciaga Fall 2007/08 Cage sandals now have a inspired version courtesy of Bakers Shoes. The open toed Bleue Semelle rose style worn by Beyonce was copied to be sold for a more buyer friendly price of $79.95.
Beats that $4175 by a long shot doesn’t it? I opted for the real deal (thanks to the great folks over at the Balenciaga shop in Paris)…but this is a good alternative for you ladies who don’t have the ends (or a man that has it at least)…
Wait, Bakers didn’t stop there. They also have a similar version of the Balenciaga open toed lace boot that Tracee Ellis Ross loves to wear. There is the tan colorway, as well as black, pink, and a faux snakeskin blue. Now I would consider this copy, I favor the look of the Bakers version.
Where eva there is beyonce, ppl are gona always talk and comments are gona maximise smh!!! Neway I luv them on beyonce but I wouldn’t want them on me period!!!!
“Beats that $4175 by a long shot doesn’t it? I opted for the real deal (thanks to the great folks over at the Balenciaga shop in Paris)…but this is a good alternative for you ladies who don’t have the ends (or a man that has it at least)…”
Maybe you should have taken the $4175 and taken a decent journalism course!
I know it’s your blog and you can say what you want, but that paragraph was a bit tactless.
Oh well, maybe you were just REALLY excited.
Didn’t mean to pelt you, Tiana. Actually, judging from the outfits I’ve seen you wearing, you seem like someone who would wear those sandals with a crazy conservative outfit. Your wording was just a bit tactless, but it’s nothing…Were you in Paris on your honeymoon (congrats) and your hubby got them for you as a wedding gift? No biggie…tons of people splurge on their honeymoon.
Both pairs are awfully ugly . I also agree with #45 &122. Tianna need to tighten up on her jornalism . That last sentence was ver tacky . I wouldn’t dare allow my man to purchase me a pair of shoes for 4000$ . II would look at him like he have lost his damn mind ! Smh . Our people are so wrapped up into material shit .
I agree with the first posters on the Balenciaga knock offs, there really hot in the authentic copy. But the knockoffs looks busted and I dont do knockoffs.
The boots on the other hand are really cute and Bakers did a very good job on the cheaper version where it doesnt look like some boot legg copy. I would go and get those 4-sure.
Don’t some of you think you’re being a tad too hard on the author of this article?
#126 No because it took effort to be that pretentious.
FUCK A SHOE
GIMME SOME TUITION
shiiiiiit
I got the original ones for my b-day they aint that cute in real life kind of corny but hey when a regular chick rock the same shoes as queen beyonce shallow folks put you on a pedestal!!!!
lol @ 86
lol @ knockoffs that i still wouldn’t pay that much for
lol @ 124 criticizing someone’s bad grammar. boo boo for you.
CLAP IT UP for 120…”I find it amazing how you will find some of the best and most expensive cars parked in the projects parking lots.” temple.
and finally…LMAO @ 130 replies! you go balenciaga and mrs. carter!
BOTH PAIRS OF THOSE SHOES ARE HIDEOUS !!! TIANNA, THERE ARE MANY YOUNG SUBSCRIBERS ON THIS BLOG. STOP PROMOTING GOLDDIGGING .
Boo, more junk for our materialistic society. Both those shoes are hideous balenciaga or bakers, just making rich people richer and for what? Losers. Spending all that money on shit that loses value immediately after purchase. That’s why most americans are in debt and have bad credit and can’t get loans for houses something worth investing in. Shame on it all, this is how black encourage each other? It’s definitely not whitey keeping us down.
lmao at people those shoes are ugly ass hell and it would take me two months to buy a pair and who would pay 4000 for a pair of shoes and I’m tripping off the ones that act like its a big thing to pay 4000 for a pay of ugly shoes just because beyucka has them on suckers!!!
The “great folks over at Balenciaga” are not going to be thrilled when they see that you’re practically promoting knock- offs of their items!!!!!

“There’s one thing you’re gonna constantly
have to deal with in your life- and that’s broke-ass
black folks. They gonna be hard to spot
cause they dressed real nice. Don’t let that fool you,
cause the nicer they dress, usually the broker they are.”

She’s a beautiful woman.She’s so gorgeous. I love her. I saw her profile with photos and videos at black white kiss DOT co m I also found her blog there.It’s said that she’s seeking for a young man to be the BF ? Is that ture ???
Those shoes are ugly no matter who puts their spin on them!
@138…. Ok we get it!!!! Damn u write like a messed up drunkie!!!!! go sit down and get urself a glass of Jack Daniels afta u do dat jus shut the f up!!!!!!
Bakers is wrong as hell for that! LMAO! I saw those shoes in their catalog the other day!
“I opted for the real deal (thanks to the great folks over at the Balenciaga shop in Paris)…but this is a good alternative for you ladies who don’t have the ends (or a man that has it at least)…”
Wow Tianna, that sounds kinda cheeky lol.
LOL I just had to comment on 122′s comment…
I’m not bashing you but your comment about Tianna needing to take a decent journalism course made me think…..
Alot of these “bloggers” have no experience in journalism. It’s so easy to create a site and either talk shit or just commentate on this or that. True journalists know about being ethical and will display their commentary in such a manner. A journalist just can’t talk out of their ass and not think about if they’re offending their readers. That is VERY important but as I’ve stated, if you’re not a journalist, chances are you don’t know about the importance of ethics…
I’m just saying….
Anyhow…
As I’ve stated before both shoes are a hot ugly ass mess. I would NEVER spend that kind of money on ANY pair of shoes even if I had the means, I’m sorry that’s just insane to me. The people who are so concerned about what celebs are wearing (and are trying their best to keep up with what’s in style) need to realize that half of the lavish shit they wear are GIVEN to them by designers just because..well…they got it like that. Don’t be fooled….
NUMBER 7, THOSE BOOTS NICOLE RICHIE IS ROCKING ARE TO DIE FOR.
if anyone was interested the boots that Tracee Ellis Ross is wearing the knock version can be found here:http://gojane.com/25469.html
3 color choices
NOT MY CUP OF TEA,but for anybody that wants it for cheap!
Please, you should not have to be a journalist to know the importance of ethics! I’m in high school and I know that. It’s common sense!
Those monstrousities
i must admit i got a mean shoe game from boots to sneaks, hills, and sandles but beyonces knockoffs are fly why pay more when booth serve the same purpose anyway got em on the way to the crib as we speak.step your shoe game up ladies
beyonce is mad late with those shoes they came out a year n a half ago

WE LOVE BEYONCE’S COLOURFUL ATTEMPT!!!!!!! It is sooo cute, amazing, young, and sexy all in one….
TY&&MEGAnne&&ROXAnne are trying to get a pair, lets see hwo that works out, and maybe we will be able to model it for you eh?
TY
i do love beyonce’s shoes but they’re overpriced NOTE ! IN MID JUNE 5.7.9 IS GOING TO LAUNCH A THEIR VERSION (THEY LOOK LIKE REPLICA) FOR $41.95 I’m looking forward to buy a pair of those
!!!
I 4 1 LOVE THESE HEELS, IN FACT I JUST BROUGHT THE KNOCK-OFFS YESTERDAY BABES! THEY R GREAT. I WASNT A BIG FAN OF THEM EITHER UNTIL SHE MADE ME REALIZE THEY COULD GET “ROCKED” OUT! SO I WILL B ROCKIN THEM OUT. THE FAKE 1′S OF COURSE, $4200 FOR SHOES IS INSANE! TRY $45
I just bought a pair of those open toes sandals that Baker’s has at Electriqueboutique.com for like $32! Just search under Lego Sandal!
OK ladies,lets keep it real here!!! Unless you have a bank account like Beyonce herself or her beau Jay-Z, then I can see you spending 4K on a pair of shoes, but other then that, you’s are crazy or just lying!!! I love fashion myself, especially when it comes to shoes, but I will not spend that type of money. I’m gonna keep it real, if the knock off looks good, then I’ll buy it. Some of these copies are so good, that you dont even know the difference. Besides, these trends come and go so fast. I will not spend 4K on a pair of shoes that I will only wear for one season and then throw them to the side cause they’re out of style. Be for real people. You do not have Hollywood A-lister bank accounts!!!
