Bleeding Cool reports on the results of French fashion designers taking inspiration from DC Comics characters. Among the results: €175.59 Flash Ballerina Shoes.
The imperfectly-translated writeup on the listing:
Why “Flash”? We liked the idea to create a ballerina inspired by “Flash”, to keep only the flash of lighting of his great male powers and to put it in women feet!” — Repetto.
More images of this odd fusion at the listing, plus more examples of comics couture at the Bleeding Cool article. The shoes are on the cheap side of a collection that includes €1663.88 Catwoman boots.
This is the time I most regret not being able to wear ballerina flats. My feet are to wierd and they slip out.
*sadness* 🙁
How odd.
wait what? this has to do with Flash how? why?
The designer used The Flash as inspiration for these shoes.
They are the bright red and feature a lightning bolt that mirrors his costumes design concepts.
I really like th simplisity of them on a side note. They did not go too complex with the design which really suits them and in my opinion mirrors The Flashes costume concepts. His logo I find is the easiest to draw for example.
Um…
Let’s hope the wearers of these don’t end up breaking the dimensional barrier when they do a twirl.
Or that the Reverse Flash Ballerina doesn’t show up.
😀
That comment sort of makes my want for these even greater.
And I guess they would look lovely in yellow
How about a ‘black’ pair for when you’re feeling dead on your feet?
(I want a pair of Flash running shoes…for kinda obvious reasons.)
:O
You did not just make things cooler did you?
I would buy all three colours just cause that would be awesome.
i love these! but can’t afford them 🙁
