Racked reports that Christian Siriano’s lovely sculptured shoes have hit Payless stores:
Apparently the $80 babies are still available at select locations in New York. We have a feeling it won’t be long before they’re sold out!

Louis Vuitton and Chanel both reintroduced clogs to the fashion scene in their Spring/Summer 2010 runway collections, with Louis Vuitton parading the shoes with feathers and fur, and Chanel sticking to more traditional fair:
No matter how presented, it seems the houses were set on making the early 90’s shoe fly for 2010–and to be honest, I’ve seen quite a few fashionistas clopping around in clogs:
The look has filtered down to mass retailers, with footwear designers like Jeffrey Campbell, Steve Madden, and Sam Edelman offering versions starting at $125:
I used to own a pair of clogs back in the day, and can admit that the style offers both height and comfort. And it seems as if they would be a good alternative to say…a flip flop on a ‘down’ day.
But then again, no one can deny the way a sharp stiletto can make a leg look. Clogs, on the other hand, are indisputably…unsexy.
What do you think? Would you rock a clog?
A true 80’s urbanista would never be caught on the block without a pair of Reebok Hi-Tops highlighted by multicolored slouch socks:
As one of the first athletic shoes created for women, Reebok Freestyle Hi Tops were beloved by everyone from cheerleaders to corporate ladies looking for comfort, and came in a myriad of colors including green, orange, pink, blue, white, black, red, and yellow. The shoes accounted for more than half of Reebok’s sales in 1984, and of course were a favorite of the hip hop community.
Freestyles were dubbed “5411″’s by urban trendsetters because the shoes, which typically retailed for $49.99, cost $54.11 including tax (this was mainly true for New York City).
To cement their popularity, stars featured 54-11’s in songs, with DMX rapping, “Knew she was a thug/ ‘Cuz when I met her she had her scarf on/ 54-11, size 7 in girls /Baby face, would look nice/ She was 11 with curls.”
Thus launched a new term and trend in the black community. Nowadays, you can find many reincarnations of the classic by designers like Married to the Mob and Telfar, among others:
They’re still fly, no?
What are some of your fave 54-11 memories?

Upscale Hype found Rihanna wore a HOT pair of thunderbolt pumps by Parisian designer Mai Lamore for a recent rehearsal:
Have you stopped drooling? I haven’t!
Unfortunately, there are no price details on the shoe, but you can visit Mai Lamore’s site, www.mailamore.com for buying info. She has a store on the super fancy Rue St. Honoré here in Paris (home of Christian Louboutin, Givenchy, I could go on…). If her prices are anything like their’s, I’d say these shoes are a splurge. But ya never know…
I’ll check it out!

Ms. Colo hit us up on Twitter, saying, “Who are Beyonce’s performance shoes by? I’m GAGGING over here!” We did a quick search and found Bey topped off a Versace Atelier dress with a pair of bedazzled, embellished Giuseppe Zanotti’s:
Zanotti’s start at $500 and can go up to $1500.
Quite a splurge! Drool over the entire collection here or get a similar look for a little less with these $300 Report Signature Women’s Bowery Peep Toes:

As Louboutin’s nudge Manolo’s out of that number one shoe spot, it seems more and more lower priced brands are spawning knock offs. Pumpcicle noticed that Dollhouse’s $76 Tisch Pumps look eerily similar to Christian Louboutin’s $1,785 Lace Booties:
While both boast almost 5 inch heels and an 1 inch covered platform, Dollhouse’s version is a bit more punk rock with an ankle chain detail.
Which one would you rock?
