The kicks, made by high-end French fashion label Lanvin, cost $540.
Michelle Obama has taken casual to a haute new level.
While volunteering Wednesday at a D.C. food bank, the First Lady sported her usual J.Crew cardigan, a pair of utilitarian capri pants and, on her feet, a sneaky splurge: trainers that go for $540.
That's right: These sneakers - suede, with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps - are made by French design house Lanvin, one of fashion's hottest labels. They come in denim and satin versions, and have been a brisk seller all spring.
They're out of stock at posh Meatpacking District boutique Jeffrey, and Barneys New York boasts a limited selection of the sneaks, which are a cult favorite among fashionistas.
It's likely Michelle got hers through Ikram, the Chicago retailer that often outfits her.
"They're shoes," the First Lady's reps sniffed when curious reporters inquired about the fancy footwear.
Michelle has stepped out in Lanvin before while getting down to business. A week ago, she shoveled dirt at a tree planting while wearing the line's chiffon tank.
Dresses and strappy pumps cost upward of $1,500, while tops go for $400 to $1,000.
Other celebrity fans of Lanvin's costly kicks include Ellen DeGeneres and Kanye West, who has blogged about his faves.
As the family's primary dog walker, Michelle clearly requires comfortable footwear.
"I got up at 5:15 in the morning to walk my puppy," she joked Thursday. "That's how my day starts. Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out."
She'll be trodding on New York's sidewalks Tuesday for the first time as First Lady. Michelle will meet with staff at the U.S. mission to the United Nations. Later, she headlines Time magazine's "100 most influential people" gala.

LOL
Just like the rest of us. Remember when the libtards blasted McCain for showing up in a pair of Ferragamo Loafers while out on the campaign trail. That was the big news for a week on the MSM.

:lmao:
Oh what a surprise.
People who have a lot of money buy things that cost a lot of money.
What is the world coming to?
What will desperation send right-wingers to shout next?
Obama kids are bastards and snot-nose kids.
Is that your next thread there mr. national security?
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

You're Never Alone With A Schizophrenic!
Of course she is an elitist.
She is married to one of the (some say THE) most powerful men in the world. She is in a position held by less than 50 women in the last 200 years. She graduated from a top university.
How many people do you know who fit that description? Now, how many black women fit that description?
Do you honestly think McCain was less elitist? Or Bush? Or Clinton? Or Romney?
They are all elitists. Do you think they will be dropping by your house for a barbeque? Do you think any of them shop at the local Kroger?
This bull of trying to make the other party look like elitists while making your own look "down home" is either misleading or deliberately put out as propaganda.
Since I don't know whether the original poster is stupid or a political opportunist, I will leave the answer up to others.
Practically Perfect
I seem to recall the other side complaining about Palin's wardrobe. Hence, non-issue.

It is a non issue in any case 3D.
Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
Proving tax cuts work!
Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.
