This bizarre pair of ‘shining’ sequined goatskin open-toed shoes from Chanel actually has light bulbs in place of heels that light up so you can find your way in the dark.
The downside of this couture flashlight is its price: A pair of these shoes will cost you $2,200. Chanel featured these battery-powered shoes on the runway of their Pre-Fall 2008 collection fashion show.
They remind me of the LED lights on children’s sneakers from a few years ago. Now grownups can have high fashion light-up shoes too!
