These ‘ramen shoes’ became an instant fashion meme
College delicacy Cup Noodles just became a tantalizing runway snack.
Luxury Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta unveiled its pre-fall 2020 collection featuring must-have separates, accessories and shoes. Immediately following its release, Instagram’s fashion watchdog @Diet_Prada called out one design’s uncanny resemblance to a brick of ramen noodles.
The macramé shoes are not only served up in a sweet sandal style but also in a closed-toe design available in light tan and yellow. Ignited by a fiery, nostalgic feeling, fashionistas and meme-obsessed followers flooded the comments.
“I’ve preordered the pork flavor ya’ll know it’s the best,” one person wrote.
“Seasoning packet included or nah?” another asked.
“You mean Justin Timberlake’s hair circa 1999,” a commenter joked.
“High sodium or low?” another added.
Between the colossal consumer craze for comical content and an intense infatuation with Diet Prada, which has 1.6 million followers, this Bottega mule is not Instagram’s only victim getting the meme treatment. After Kylie Jenner posted a picture in a plush puffer, viral Instagram account @ItsMaysMemes trolled the fashion world by following up with a massive version of her Fendi coat and matching moon boots.
