A heel full of fantasy
More and more firms are betting on shoes where the heel is the protagonist. They are not a novelty, since brands have been presenting unique models for years, such as the Chanel revolver heel, the Marc Jacobs inverted heel or the Alberto Guardiani lipstick-shaped heel. With these premises, Christian Louboutin has launched his version where the heels emulate the lipgloss of his own signature but full of rhinestones.
An elegant and groundbreaking version capable of facing any trend.
The most punk version that continues to succeed today
In the mid-2000s, Christian Louboutin invaded street style with his most groundbreaking shoes at the time. Adding studs in the form of spikes to the most classic models of his, they showed the most punk side of him.

Also, Kim Kardashian wore them on all of her first red carpets. Today these spikes are still part of her collections, creating unique shoes where tradition and modernity go hand in hand.
