Glitter shoes were popularized in recent years after being featured on the famous feet of celebrities like Rihanna and Gigi Hadid -- inspired by these eye-catching designs, wearable technology brand Cutecircuit released what it calls 'Sparkle Booties,' a fierce pair of reflective stilettos that takes glittery footwear to an entirely new level.
With a 10 cm heel, bright pink lining, a silver leather toe cap and subtle ankle detailing, these boots stand as a fashionable night-out accessory, but are equipped with a bright twist; these heels illuminate when hit by a direct light. Sparkle Booties form the perfect marriage between fashion and technology: the reflective properties of these shoes demand attention, while their elegant detailing ensure they'll go with any outfit. The glistening shoes stand as evidence of technology's place in high-fashion design.
