Just Wrong: Schizophrenia In A Shoe

Oh, boy. No single pair of Louboutins has deserved the "just wrong" label more than these patchwork monstrosities. Why do we say "patchwork?" Well, just look at the obvious influence of the Balenciaga rollerblade shoes from what--was that F/W 07 or 06? And then there's the zipper, straight off the Roditas of last year, and then some pointy studs. We know Monsieur Christian is feeling the studs lately, especially after doing the Rodarte shoes seasons back before they went with Kirkwood, but it's ok to give it a rest on a simply lacey pump.

Then there's the lace. Fishnet is good...lace is dodgey. The only thing we're going to praise in regards to these is the manageable heel height. They are wearable, if you're blind. Louboutin must know what a schizophrenic shoe he's got here, for they're only priced at $835 at Bergdorf Goodman in NY--cheap compared to other recent offers.
