Super Studded Sneakers

The Christian Louboutin Louis Flat Spikes are Rebellious Pairs of Footwear

— April 14, 2011 — Fashion
The Louis Flat Spikes are clearly not your ordinary run-of-the-mill pair of sneakers. Christian Louboutin has given this sweet denim and leather hybrid shoe an interesting twist with the application of multiple spikes.

Without the studded features the Louis Flat Spikes would have just been another pair of denim kicks released this year. Christian Louboutin holds these shoes in high regard claiming that they are "a perfect accessory for any wardrobe in any season." If you are looking to add a touch of edgy punk fashion to your style, then there is no denying that statement.

The Louis Flat Spikes sell for just under a grand and seem to be meant for fashionable men with a hint of a wild side.
