The knee-high optical illusion boots, priced at nearly $2,500 (over Rs 20 lakh) and available in just two skin tone options, have been called “weird shit” by the TikTok fashion influencer.
In the clip, Allain unwrapped the strange boots from their iconic orange shell and then revealed the boot with an “integrated calf” on camera. As he unwrapped the boots, Allain said, “They were on the runway about a year ago and I knew the second they came out I had to get them.”

Twitter
In 2023, ugly shoe designs have abounded on the Internet and fashion enthusiasts have enjoyed wearing strange designs, ironically or unironically. You may remember MSCHF’s Astro Boy-style boots, or the big red cartoon rubber boots that went viral on the Internet. All these additions gave rise to fascinating footwear this year.
To put his own spin on the trend, Louis Vuitton also came up with a boot that he had no choice but to talk about at length. The brand created the boots as a nod to the “surrealist art movement.”

The viral heels come in two different skin tones and are “hand-painted to create the illusion of a ribbed sock inside a black shoe,” according to LV’s website.
