Christianity and fashion crossed paths during the making of the Judas Pumps. These extremely avant-garde shoes feature dangerous divinity style.
The Judas Pumps are a part of the Gasoline Glamour 'Jesus' collection. Though the entire line features footwear inspired by the Crucifix, the Judas Pumps are the boldest pair in the entire collection. Catching the eye of believers and non-believers alike, these pumps are 8" tall and feature a closed toe style.
Both the uppers and platform sole are made of black leather while the highlight of its entire appeal is the flat black wooden Crucifix attached to the toe of each shoe. The Judas Pumps are also riddled with black Swarovski stones for a minimal dazzle factor.
