I agree its ridiculous when a $500 bike costs $6000 because it has a Mercedes logo on it. But I see this as no different than wearing a baseball hat with your favorite team on it. Sports teams are brands too, and you show support for brands you enjoy. Not like I'm running around screaming "I OWN AN 86!!!", haha. These aren't my everyday shoes and I like to wear them on weekend drives or to meets.
I used to have a pair of driving shoes, but they do scream "I LOVE TO DRIVE BECAUSE LOOK AT MY SHOES!". I like the all stars because the hard flat sole makes it easy to feel the pedals, but when I'm just walking around, they don't attract attention. Plus, if they cost the same as regular shoes, add a subtle bit of support for a brand I enjoy, and are unique then why not? (I am starting to dislike the red though...
)
