High-fashion shoemaker Christian Louboutin pushes boundaries with the ultra hip Christian Louboutin spikes capsule collection. The shoe and accessory collection is designed around a series of intricate colorful spike embellishments that add a boisterous bohemian vibe to the overall look of the shoe line.
Rather than the exotic and outlandish high-heeled stilettos many high-fashion consumers are used to seeing, Louboutin created a collection inspired by hip streetwear filled with sleek sneakers. The Roller-Boat Spike slip-on shoe is a canvas style black leather sneaker covered in a rainbow of colorful spikes. Similarly, the Louis Flat high-top shoe is made from pink and red leather and comes with the same spike detailing. Spiked wallets and card holders are also featured in the collection.
The collection is set to debut in stores worldwide for Fall 2014.
