Sky-High Disco Kicks

These Gridded Platform Shoes from Pixie Kitsune are Futuristic

These Qozmo DisQo platform shoes are designed by YRU and Devowevo. Available on Pixie Kitsune's web shop, the sky-high kicks are a daring accessory that will make you at least 4" taller.

In addition to its 4" heel, this vegan leather shoe also features a 3" platform. The accessory's built-in platform is wrapped with EVA material that boasts a gridded and visually vivid design.

This futuristic sneaker pays homage to the outrageous disco styles of the 70s and marries the decade's flamboyant styles with those of today. While the wedge sneaker was making waves a few seasons ago, the platform shoe is back and all the rage for young style-setters who are looking to the past for inspiration.
