Multi-purpose fashion is all the rage now - and it would seem Dolce & Gabbana is tackling the trend with so much enthusiasm that they're selling a pair of trainers that look like a drawstring bag.
Fashion fans have taken to social media to ridicule the Italian fashion brand's Nappa-effect Wave mid-top sneakers, which have a sports shoe rubber sole - an cost eye-watering £950.
The stompers also, uniquely, feature a drawstring leather top that makes them resemble a stylish clutch.
'D&G sneaker and bag in one,' one style savvy commenter quipped online.
'Perhaps they're for people who don't want to try trotting in high heels,' another joked.

The bizarre black trainers come in shoe sizes one to eight.
Other shoppers, across the US and Europe, have questioned whether the item is even a shoe as they slammed the label's peculiar creative direction.
D&G's website outlined the shoes' aesthetic vision, amalgamated by a mixture of influences.
'Iconic style meets the metaverse,' the product description read.
'Giving life to a futuristic vision of the brand's signature aesthetic, where timeless materials merge with contemporary textures.'
The site also praised D&G's use fabric and materials.

'Featuring a chunky rubber sole that wraps around three soft pads, these new Wave mid-top sneakers come in soft nappa-effect fabric,' it added.
It comes as the luxury brand has in past weeks put out a number of trendy campaigns featuring the Kardashian-Jenners.
Last week Kylie Jenner was featured in a promotional shot and video for Dolce & Gabbana's new Eyewear campaign.
The 25-year-old reality television personality showed off several of the brand's glasses while lounging in a swimming pool.
The entrepreneur, who also serves as the face of her own beauty company Kylie Cosmetics, wore her black hair down and soaking wet as she donned a low-cut black dress and a matching pair of gloves during the video shoot.

The social media figure also flaunted a pair of high-heeled shoes to finish her monochrome ensemble.
Meanwhile last month Kim Kardashian, 42, was pictured lazing about in an ornate room as the new Dolce & Gabbana ads for their Spring/Summer 2023 collection debuted.
The media personality looked every bit the seductress in the black leotard and stockings, wearing her hair movie star platinum blonde as she sizzled for the camera.
'The new #DGSS23 campaign, shot in an Italian villa by photographer duo @mertalas and @macpiggott, channels a feeling of intimacy through soft black and white hues,' wrote the mother of four in her Instagram caption.
'A collection rooted in #DGDNA and resulting in a reinterpretation of #DolceGabbana iconic archival pieces.'
