Beyonce can do no wrong to her Beyhive, and no doubt, have they been waiting for this drop. However, there are multiple reasons why I am not feeling this Superstar Platform. Many people think they can take a sneakers and do something that makes no sense and call it art. I feel like that is what is going on here, but in a way where it is still pretty subtle and just falls flat.

The platform itself is ugly. The mid sole in the middle goes out wider than the bottom of the shoe, and it just looks like a mistake. The color is off-white, and I feel like it just ruins that classic white and black Superstar that can do no wrong. Then, the shoe has a pointed toe, that is also made pointed by the odd rubber outsole. It is easily noticeable that the toe box of the actual sneaker is still round, which means the sneaker has a lot of excess material probably making it heavy.

Finally, Rihanna did this with FENTY years ago. Yes, I have said many times no fashion is new fashion, but this is literally the pointed toe Creeper.
