Faux Probationary Shoes

Rodarte Pumps, Ankle Bracelets Not Issued by LAPD

Rodarte Shoes loves to team up (collaborate, they call it) with hot designers to create some fierce designs. Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs are a couple of the more recent collaborations.

The Rodarte label is the creation of a couple of California girls who make the transition from Pasadena cool to Paris haute. These shoes illustrate their attention to every detail perfectly and how they love to pile on the killer embellishments.
