Christian Louboutin's latest shoe range is titled 'Loubi-Athlete' and consists of conceptual footwear that is loosely inspired by athletics. With the continuous popularity of luxe sportswear and athleisure apparel, a sporty collection of statement heels is not unlikely for the luxury shoe maker.
Showcased as part of the label's Fall/Winter 2017 collection, the Loubi-Athlete range consists of three bold heels -- titled the 'Crampetta,' the 'Athletika,' and 'Lolacrampon.' Rather than taking a literal approach to its sports inspiration, Christian Louboutin creates statement heels that are architectural without being too campy.
The collection features cut-out detailing, color-blocked leather accents and most impressively, its
sculptural heels which combine support with sleek aesthetics. Staying true to his whimsical aesthetic, shoe designer Christian Louboutin creates an atheltics-themed collection that is sure to appeal to daring fashion fans.
