Thought I saw a designer resemblance, and then I spotted this review…
Customer Review: “Was searching for Miu Miu X New Balance collab sneakers, and came upon this RC42 by New Balance. Looks like the Miu Miu $1100 nylon sneakers but costs 1/10 of the price. A huge fan of New Balance sneakers; super light, comfy, and classic. Bought these and arrived today. Fits very comfortable, slightly on the roomy side but I will just wear thicker socks. LOVE!” — Nordstrom reviewer
