Confusing Diesel T-Bars

I really can't make my mind up about these $129 Diesel  'Bishkek' T-bars. The label obviously have faith in them as they've rolled them out in no less than three colourways (not to mention in a slightly different style which has the same name and code). Still, there's something about them that leaves me a bit cold. Perhaps it's the extra strap that gives them a bit of a caged-in feel, or maybe it's the knowledge that they'll give me the worst cankles known to man?!
