by Gabrielle Hennessey
The sneaker collaborations keep rolling in, with Married to the MOB x Lacoste being the latest. The drop features the lace-embellished Hironia high-top sneaker, which was apparently inspired by Christian Louboutin’s lacy shoe confections for the ladies.

Married to the Mob is a female clothing line! These are not for men. What guy would wear these??

Our mistake, thanks for pointing it out. Though we could see BryanBoy in a pair.
