These Saint Laurent Roller-Skate Stilettos are Thrillingly Fashionable

— August 4, 2017 — Luxury
These roller-skate stilettos from Saint Laurent may be the most fabulous and thrilling product to be released this year.

These fabulous heels consist of a three-inch stiletto heel, mounted on top of a set of roller skates. One wheel sits directly under the heel while two more sit under the foot bed. It is currently unknown if these death-defying shoes are intended for actual wear. Either way, they have garnered quite a bit of attention.

The design of the shoes is just as eccentric as the concept, featuring snakeskin, pearls and sequins. Priced at £1,995, these shoes' design was the vision of Saint Laurent's new creative director, Anthony Vaccarello. It appears the new designer is looking to create quite a splash with his new collection and he has definitely succeeded with these roller-skate stilettos.
