The Spring/Summer 2010 Christian Louboutin Men's "Freddy" Shoes x "Louis" Sneakers = Man Made.





"The Christian Louboutin brand is well known for their womens shoes, however many forget that they have some interesting mens shoe designs up their sleeves. For the Spring/Summer 2010 Christian Louboutin previewed some shoes from their mens shoe collection. As you can tell, the main theme of this collection was silver-toned spikes which are covering the black & white [Louis] sneakers as well as the Freddy flat dress shoes. Priced around $1,200 would you wear these?"

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: Finally, the current heavyweight champ of luxurious arch altering and posterior redfining women's high heels (NOTE: Sorry Manolo Blahnik ... no disrespect kid) has come to his senses and shared his signature red lacquered sole with the fellas. Yes, fresh from his highly anticpated @ retail Spring/Summer 2010 Collection come a too-short-to-ride-the-roller-coaster range of men's "Freddy" shoes and "Louis" sneakers from Christian Louboutin.

Evidently inspired by the legendary pro-wrestling tandem of Animal and Hawk AKA The Road Warriors/The Legion Of Doom, the sartorial success of these kick-me-swiss-cheese-me toe topper showstoppers depend heavily on the individual. For instance, if Y.O.U. are an attention whore Y.O.U. might pull a full douche bag maneuver and pair such stellar statement sneakers with a spiked wristband, spiked belt, spiked dog collar and, of course, the pièce de résistance - a spike addled leather jacket. Such actions are frowned upon here @ Livestyle.

No, I much prefer the minimalist approach that Pharrell has taken allowing these $1,200 bad boys to do both the walking AND the talking. No need to O.D. homie ... mix a bit of tradition with a splash of experimentation and you'll be good money. Class is now in session.

Helloooooo Ladies: Chrisitian Louboutin x Jean-Francois Lesage Marie Antoniette-Inspired Capsule Collection = Let Them Spend Cake!



"Let them eat cake!" Marie Antoinette arguably once said. Well, I wonder what Marie would think of these Christian Louboutin heels designed with her in mind? She did lose her head for spending more money on extravagant fashion instead of feeding her starving people, so I guess she wouldn't mind them.

Louboutin teamed up with famous embroiderer Jean-Francois Lesage of the House of Lesage to create these spectacular heels. Only 36 pairs have been made, and at $6,295 a pop they are very far from my reach. Available in pink, yellow and blue they will be sold via Louboutin's Madison Avenue boutique from February 26. Kirsten Dunst gets a pair for free... naturally."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: In a cosmic coincidence to rival that of Barack Obama giving his historic presidential nomination speech 45 years to the day that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his legendary "I Have A Dream" homily @ the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., luxury shoe craftsman par excellence Christian Louboutin (move over Mr. Manolo ... lol) has teamed up with famed French embroiderer Jean-Francois Lesage of the House of Lesage to concoct these bank busting Marie Antoinette-inspired beauties just in time for this global recession!

As opulent as The House of Versailles, these pink, yellow and blue early Easter colored treats might force some to take out an extra mortgage on their homes just to touch these $6,295 stilettos. Limited to 36 stamped and numbered pairs in the entire universe, this capsule collection of wearable art is as exclusive as it gets - Marie Antoinette would be proud. Have Y.O.U. had enough yet lil lady? Aight ... good. Now, wipe the drool off of your keyboard and get back to work.
