And that's where we were wrong.
Both Jimmy Choo and Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte have created grownup variations of the novelty footwear. The Jimmy Choo version (above) comes with a price tag of $2,495 - and a glorified glow stick attached the heel.
While I won't exactly call the Rodarte pair "understated," they are considerably less garish than the Choo pair. I'm intrigued.Tell me, would you wear light-up footwear? Or should we leave this trend to the wee ones?
No thank you. This is one trend that kids rule.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! No thank you. I will just content myself in looking at them. xoxo
ReplyDeletehaha wow!!! Crazy!!! I have never seen this before, but I'm not surprised...new ideas are always springing up. I definitely don't think I will be sporting this one! :)

In elementary school LA Lights were the must have foot wear, and I have very fond memories of bouncing around in the dark, but I think I will pass on the grown-up version and let those memories stay in the past.
ReplyDeletewow! Thats definitely something! I don't really find it childish, these are heels after all not running shoes, and I actually quite like them and am impressed however I don't think I'll be sporting them! x
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I go out all the time to parties.... Otherwise no!
ReplyDeletecould you imagine the glow-stick look paired with lucite?! cool.
ReplyDeletefun to look at, but not really for the real world, me thinks. :)

ReplyDeleteDefinitely not for me. Although I do think they'd garner lots of attention. :)

they look like art but i just couldn't see myself ever actually wearing these!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can get on board with these, Jessica. I think I'll remain understated with simple sequins and glitter. lol
ReplyDeleteI actually like the first pair but the twinkle thing is a bit too crazy for me :P xx
ReplyDeleteThe Choos were apparantly an immediate sell out. Even though I usually adore the brand, I believe these are a case of the emperor's new clothes. The light works a certain number of times, and when it stops working it can't be replaced and the effect is gone. Hellooooo? USD 2500 and you can't even change the light bulb? Hideous.
