New VFF Design or Copycat?

I came across this photo during a search for barefoot alternatives. Where can I get a pair?

That has got to be the creepiest photoshopped pic I've ever seen. Ew.

yeah well just wait till you get a look at the new "Speed", I'm pissed, I don't want shoe shoes, watch in the next 3-4 years they'll be more shoe than good old foot gloves we love so much.*sigh*
and whats up with this "Bikila" ok cool. its got a neet pattern on the bottom. but it looks like its going to be tougher and not have as much "give" when you go running, like what I expect from the sprints I'm planning to get by mid May.

ugh...if this company starts going down towards the "sports shoe/Nike" type road, I'm out. I'll get the ones I want and then not look back...I mean we didn't get these cuz we wanted to have the major cushion that has been messing with our feet(like you've blogged about) or for their stylishness or cuz they have shoelaces, we got them for our health, and for our fun. so we can experience what its like to be the way we were made, we got them cuz we wanna be able to somewhat feel the grounds textures under our feet.... not to coddle them with soft cushiony spungyness this corperation seems to be leaning towards.
