Geek chic with a healthy amount of disposable income? Christian Louboutin has you covered with these (new?) Lady Peep Geek Embroidered Pumps: From the description:
Embroidered with microchip-inspired patterning, numbers, and sequins, a satin upper boasts eye-catching shine balanced with texture. In addition to a distinctively sexy aesthetic, Christian Louboutin shoes are also instantly recognizable for their vibrantly red-lacquered soles.
While $1700 seems somewhat steep for this unfashionable working stiff, if you’re a shoe connoisseur in the market for a pair of designer “red bottoms” these pumps are sure to impress your peers at any celebrity LAN party.
(Thanks, Ricky Tan!)
Probably intended for Marissa Mayer, Meg Whitman or the other women tech CEOs. I can’t imagine a lot more women who would both (a) be interested in them and (b) have the disposable income for them.
Yeah, probably not. This post was a special request… :) Although the shoes do look pretty cool.
“Did I just jump the shark blogging these $1700 geek chic shoes?”
Yup. Most definitely. But only cuz they lean more towards tacky than chic. Price ain’t the problem here.
Now, if they were covered with xkcd comics instead of designs that might have seemed hip in 1978…
I dunno… think they’d look pretty sharp with a glowing Tron unitard:

And some good news! Looks like men can get into the action as well with a pair of Chuck Taylor’s sporting the same pattern at a much more reasonable $1300:
