Stiletto-Silhouette Shoes

The Big City Sneaker Shows That Pain is Not Beauty

The Big City Sneaker is made for Carrie Bradshaw-wannabes who can't handle wearing super high heels day in and day out. It cleverly features the silhouette of a stiletto right on its side, giving the illusion that the woman wearing the shoes are actually wearing a pair of high heels. Thankfully, these shoes don't go hand-in-hand with cramped arches and unwanted bunions.

The Big City Sneaker is made out of canvas and is available in five colors: pink, teal, yellow, black and orange.

Designed by New York-based Be & D, which was founded by Be Ithavong and Steve Dumain, the Big City Sneaker is both practical and girly. Whoever said pain is beauty has met their match in this creative design duo.
