This is what a $4,000 Christian Louboutin shoe looks like – introducing the Highness 160 Limited-edition Pump

Christian Louboutin has been in the news a lot lately, mainly due to his lawsuit against YSL over red-soled shoes. But now he’s in the spotlight again – for his very limited-edition, very expensive shoe. We recently told you that Mssr. Louboutin was celebrating his 20th anniversary of designing shoes by unveiling a new design exclusively for Barneys New York. It was unveiled today, and if you love Louboutins, New York and Hollywood, get your credit cards ready! The Christian Louboutin Highness 160 Limited Edition Pump is a navy colored satin double platform peep toe shoe with a 6″ heel and tons of decoration. We’re talking sequins, jewels, pearls, beads, patchwork and embroidery – ‘Hollywood‘ on the right shoe; ‘New York‘ on the left. Bonus: the word ‘Louboutin‘ is ‘written’ in beads down the heel. And of course, there’s the signature red sole. Personally we can think of better ways to spend $4K but if you’re an avid shoe collector, this is for you. Each pair is signed by Christian Louboutin and you better shop now – only 20 pairs are available!
