Steve Madden

Though you may not know it by name, I'm sure just looking at it brings back all the memories. After all, it was the it-shoe that every Cool Girl in middle school/high-school owned. What else would you wear with your flare jeans and best baby tee?

Fast forward almost 20 years, with its flatform sole and stretch upper, $10 says the cult classic will be come the summer shoe of choice for hipsters everywhere.
