The Prada 'CarShoe' Launches Your Feet into Luxury

— May 13, 2013 — Autos
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of luxury car brand Lamborgini, the Prada 'CarShoe' has begun to sell sleek Lamborghini-inspired moccasins. The shoes are made of soft alligator leather and come in three vibrant colors: orange, blue and black. An enamelled shield is placed on the heel showing the Lamborghini brand, letting everyone know exactly what level of luxury your feet are accustomed to.

The shoes themselves are designed to resemble the sleek, aerodynamic look of the Lamborghini. The Prada 'Carshoe' also makes sure that the shoes fit the needs of any professional driver or racer. Grips on the soles, flexible materials and strong laces make driving that much easier for the die-hard driver.

With these new products, Prada has managed to extend sports car culture to fashion, saying to consumers everywhere that the raging bull of the Lamborghini doesn't have to remain in the car -- you can take your luxury with you.
