These Buggy Shoes print ads were created by the hilarious minds at the advertising agency Talents Only, France. The campaign draws attention to Buggy Shoes' designs by showing feet kicked up on the table (wearing Buggy Shoes, of course) and the shocked faces of parents and authority figures.
The Buggy Shoes print ads' tagline simply reads "Declaration of Independence." See the hilarious ads above.
