These mohawk-style heels seen on JakandJil, thefashionpolice, myshopping, peacocks and polyvore are on the cutting-edge of [punk fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harajuku-punk). Why do your hair when you can do your shoes? No gel, glue, dye or hairspray required.

[Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toblach) Mohawk Heels use [leather fringe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-tassel-pump) in pinky-red and adorn the ankle with studs galore. An equally noticeable but less studly version show off a bright pink satin mohawk. Black ankle booties with a short pink fringe tone down the punky trend to a more classic shape.

Can’t find or afford Prada Mohawk Heels? Black or purple heels with a round-shaped leather frill offer a suitable alternative.
