The LF McQueen 'Tribute' Armadillo Shoe Reminisces the Late Designer

— June 11, 2010 — Fashion
This LF McQueen 'Tribute' Armadillo shoe was designed as a tribute to the late designer. Its high heel, lobster claw-like features definitely resemble the original McQueen shoes. The wedge/clog/platform addition could be a bit much for some fashionistas, but I'm sure Lady Gaga would sport them in a second.

Check out the LF McQueen 'Tribute' Armadillo shoe in the featured gallery and see for yourselves.
