Even people who aren’t overwhelming fans of the brand have to agree – the Christian Louboutin Ambertina Sandal is a shoe to behold.

In the hands of a lesser designer, the multicolored crystals, multiple materials and sky-high heel might dissolve into a cacophony of poor execution, but Louboutin expertly combines it all to create a shoe that’s show-stopping in its boldness. These shoes are an outfit unto themselves, shrinking violets and those with weak ankles need not apply.

I’m well aware that some people are going to take one look at these, conclude that they’re tacky stripper shoes and move on, but I think that sometimes, that designation is merely used by those without a sense of fun in footwear. Sure, they’re pink and gold and bedazzled, but who says that pink and gold and bedazzled isn’t a perfectly valid style statement? When it’s rendered in such a high-end, well-executed way, I don’t think anyone can successfully argue that it’s not. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $2395.

    I dont think i can justify spending 2k plus on shoes that are gonna be last season before you can even say Christian…Plus they are a bit tooooo bling. Not cool enough.

    It reminds me of one of Mcqueen’s line of shoes. So I’m not too crazy about it.
