Spiked Bejeweled Sneakers

The Christian Louboutin SS12 No Limit Collection

It appears that the Christian Louboutin SS12 No Limit collection really has...no limit. From spiked tips to bedazzled bodies and various animal prints (on one sneaker), this men's shoe line is definitely made for Lady Gaga's male counterpart. Perhaps Jo Calderone would rock them? He is probably too Al Pacino for them.

Either way, the Christian Louboutin SS12 No Limit collection really makes an impact. Perfect for the performer, it waits to be seen if these $2495 sneakers will be picked up by anyone not hitting the stage. This shoe line does hint at an new look for men, however. The couture house seems to want men to move away from the dapper British looks and embrace a more eccentric rockstar/rapper persona. Perhaps the new year will see some new personalities.
