- [Woman] This is crazy!
(woman yells)
(upbeat music)
- I was reminiscing about my childhood,
and how obsessed I was with the Spice Girls.
I had a Spice Girls birthday party, the dolls, candy.
I was obsessed.
So, I was looking at some old pictures
of the Spice Girls and noticed
their shoes are fucking huge.
So, I did my research,
found a company that makes these
huge-ass platform sneakers,
and I bought some for me and my two best friends,
Cissy and Lindsay, to try out.
Oh, I see them.
What up bitches?
Okay, I got presents!
I got us each a pair of shoes!
- It's like Christmas.
- Oh my...
- Jazz! - [Jazmyne] Duh, duh, duh!
- Wow. - [Jazmyne] Holy shit.
- This is sick, though.
- [Jazmyne] Those are so dope!
- [Lindsey] Oh, I see colors! - Hold on, I see cut color.
Ah- - Wait, those are not
as cute as mine. - I love these rainbow shoes.
And these are black. - [Jazmyne] They're cute.
Oh, mine.
Bring them- - [Lindsay] Oh my god.
- I like these actually. - [Jazmyne] Do you?
- I do, I like them more than I thought I would.
- You can not take them off.
Put 'em on in the morning.
You put on a little outfit.
You drive to work and
you live your damn life.
I'm gonna need us to figure out
if the Spice Girls really could
live their day with these shoes on.
- You can't even see all of us,
cause they're so big.
(funky music)
- I had a very hard time figuring out
what to wear this morning.
Texted Jazz, a lot.
- What color do you match with
when you have six different accent colors?
- I tried to coordinate an outfit accordingly.
Uh, uh, uh.
- Let's try these on for the first time.
Here they are!
I have a feeling these are not gonna be bad,
because they are completely flat here,
it's just the height that's crazy.
Okay, they're on.
Oh my god (laughing).
- [Cissy] I'm not mad about them.
Nope, not trying that anymore.
- Ho, this is gonna be a fuckin' thing, man.
(funky music)
- You better fuck it up Jazmyne!
- Oh my God, those are intense.
That is a look and you committed to it,
head to toe, so good for you.
- I'm about to hit my first few steps.
This is the scariest experience.
Ew, this is why I don't hold hand rails!
My hands are so dirty (whines).
- Jazz is like, well, I've never
seen you in platforms that high,
but also it doesn't seem that far off.
It really, weirdly, adds another level,
to you personally.
You went from an 11 to a 15.
- Are they comfortable?
- [Jazmyne] They're not terrible.
- How is life, six inches taller?
- It's weird standing next to people,
and realizing they're down here.
- [Cissy] I'm shooting.
I'm running around the office all day.
God willing, I'm not trying to sprain my ankle.
- Thank you, that comment really means a lot.
- Uh oh!
- No shit.
- I honestly feel like I could run a little bit.
- [Female] Run Jazmyne, run.
- I've been monitoring the camera
for like, two, three hours now,
just on my feet and I'm just like,
they were cute to begin with,
and now they're slowly becoming uncomfortable.
- I love it, they're very Spice Girl.
- Yeah.
- Just don't fall please.
- We walked all the way to lunch,
which was like four blocks.
- Yeah. - They're starting to hurt.
- I guess it's mixed with the
anxiety of being up so high,
that I'm just more aware.
I can't wait to sit.
- [Lindsay] They're just heavy.
My ankle is just sore.
- The Spice Girls performed concerts in these.
- [Jazmyne] What the fuck?
Bionic women.
- I understand just wearing them for fashion.
- Right! - But like, life?
Wow, I have so much more respect
for the Spice Girls now.
I didn't think about- - If that was possible
- that 'til now. - To even have, anymore.
- Whew, it's been a day.
I feel like a old person.
I feel like I need insoles.
- All right, so it's been a full day
of our Spice Girls shoes.
How do you guys feel?
- [Cissy] You chose three really dynamic looks.
- [Lindsay] The site actually has
normal tennis shoe platforms that
just vamp up your look, to the next level.
- That's the thing.
I see other people wear them,
and I'm like, "Holy shit, that is fashion,"
and now we're wearing the fashion.
As someone who has met a Spice Girl before,
I think she would be very proud of us.
- I think she would too.
I'm proud of- - This one's for you Emma.
When it comes to these shoes,
they can be really intimidating,
and people might want to try
something like that,
but they're too scared to.
I honestly think you should
just go for it.
- [Lindsay] It's really just about confidence,
and I feel like anyone can wear platforms.
Yeah!
