I think they're too trendy looking. They'll be fine for a season/uni semester, but after that will drop out of fashion. And they'll be too pricey for their core demographic to keep buying new ones.

They should stop beating about the bush and just work directly with the industry that drives this sort of adoption: pronogrpahers
