Steve Madden Rezume is dingy by design

Rezume has a “previously worn and returned” design that received mixed opinions from the crowd. Buyers who mistook this pair to be already used even sent it back for a refund. However, many still kept their pair because they understood and appreciated the sneaker’s “pre-scuffed” concept. One said scuffs are nice because you don’t have to worry about scuffing it up. Another even wished it to be “a tad dirtier.”

Not extravagantly priced

“They look more expensive than they are” is probably the best way to encapsulate what people thought about the $80 price of Rezume. Compared to the $84 average price of Steve Madden casual sneakers, an almost 5% difference is really not bad.
