I think they're more a pair of shoes made by some company that Cadillac licensed usage of its name to, but sure, it's neat.

Look up the Adidas Porsche shoes. They crammed a Porsche suspension system into them.

Yeah, well the basketball arena in Cleveland is called Quicken Loans Arena.  See if ya can get a loan there.    That's how licensing agreements work.  Shoe company says 'hey, we wanna make a Caddy shoe', Caddy says 'ok, pay us money to use our brand and a small sum from every unit sold'.  The shoe company gets to make money on Caddy's branding and gains exposure through it, Caddy gets exposure through the shoes.  Plus, people that buy high end stuff tend to like to show it.  Porsche jackets, Lambo hats, etc.  Those aren't crafted in Porsche and Lambo factories, you know.  Anyhoo, I don't mean to say it's totally impossible that Caddy makes 'em, I just mean to say it's unlikely.

According to the folks over at sneakerobsession.com
In what comes as a surprise to us, and sort of seems like a joke at the same time, GM has released their own line of footwear under the Cadillac brand name. Several different silhouettes have been released under names such as Coupe STS, Coupe LE, Spoke, Spoke 2, Spoke Brent, Derby, Seville, Reno, Contrail and the Atlante.

Better than the GW Bush shoes, where one is constantly lodged in his mouth.

And maybe it's just me but I don't see how criticizing a President's dancing ability is particularly humorous.

I don't know if that means they make 'em, though.  If they do, cool.  I'm glad my tax money went into footwear.

Good one!

I've got a pair of blackstones... they're the only piece of clothing with a brand I own because they're practically indestructible and I tend to wear normal shoes down in months.

So, finnally, shoes for people who think 'walkin' up in caddies' is the next best thing to 'roll'n' in one.


Do people call them Cad shoes? 'Cause I thought that moniker was reserved for high end loafers.
