A modern twist on a classic is a concept that I tend to eye with suspicion. Classics don't need twists! Leave them alone. Putting a twist on a classic is how you end up eating a curry-flavoured Lancashire hotpot and I can tell you that's every bit as disappointing as it sounds.
But then the ASOS Collection had their wicked way with the classic Mary Jane and damn them, I like it. I'm hot for all things chartreuse right now, but against dark wood the leather is so yummy. The double straps are wonderful and probably very handy - that's a rather precarious high heel. Are they too high? Perhaps - the heel height is six inches, but the platform an inch and a half so they're only like to give you a little bit of vertigo.
Let's face it: these shoes are hot. They come in an off white as well, but I'm a sucker for that not-quite-yellow-not-quite-green and since they've got twenty quid off in the sale and they're not £49, I'm powerless to resist.
