Church’s Boutique out of West Hollywood is actually selling these “gold leaf” “sneakers” for the obscene price of $1,875.
$1,875. For shoes that look like gold-speckled dried turds.
For all of high fashion’s recent trend-hopping onto the sneaker bandwagon, fashion designers have mostly stuck with either adding unnecessary straps and patent leather on their kicks or crafting fairly basic sneakers out of obscenely premium materials. This somehow manages to take the worst from both worlds. The basic silhouette and whatever premium materials were used to make these things are ruined by the entirely unnecessary crumpled gold leaf shit show that’s overlaying the shoe.
If you want to blow nearly two grand on some of the ugliest footwear this side of diamond encrusted Crocs, but gold isn’t necessarily your color, don’t sweat it. There’s also a silver version of these babies. Yes, somehow this shoe has two colorways.
