Platform shoe designs were all the rage back in the day. From 1980s disco-goers to every member of the Spice Girls, platforms shoes became a staple in pop culture.

The 'Jeffrey Campbell Creep Up Flashing Platforms' are the perfect pair of shoes for reliving those early days of bubble gum pop. The [platform shoe design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-goldenrise) features several [super bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-crush-clog) that will definitely attract attention -- if the 5.5'' heels don't do the trick.

The height of these platform shoes is just one of the highlights; the shoes are also have a light-up soles -- the same kind of light-up soles that 90s kids sported on the playground before. The lights can also be turned on and off, which was not feature available in many shoes with light-up soles.
