The label highlighted the shoes again over [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-boot-1), with the brightly colored [motorsport-inspired heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-social-social-club-and-goodyear) shown in contrast to rough cement flooring. The Vetements stilettos are marked by red and yellow flames, with the majority of one heel covered in a bright hue of yellow, while the other is a deep hue of charcoal. Both designs are made to give the embellishments on them as much contrast as possible, with each functioning as a collage of slogans, branding, and [car racing motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/20-years-of-red). Although no official due date has been given for the Vetements stilettos yet, fans of the label are likely to receive more updates over Instagram.
