Offered here from the dougfinds collection of
curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is this
wildly unique pair of
custom Batman comic-book platform stiletto heels, created over a pair of
Charlotte Russe women's size 8 pumps.
These are not being
represented as a factory-produced Charlotte Russe/DC Comics collaboration.
The Charlotte Russe pumps appear to have been individually customized with
hand-applied Batman comic artwork, transforming an already dramatic pair of
towering platform heels into a piece of wearable comic-book art.
And whoever made them
certainly didn't stop at the toes.
The collage treatment
wraps around virtually the entire exterior of both shoes — platforms,
uppers, sides, backs and even the narrow stiletto heels — with different
Batman imagery, characters, dialogue, action scenes and classic comic-book
graphics appearing everywhere you look.
No two sides are alike.
Against all that dark,
graphic Batman artwork, the bright red/pink interiors provide a
fantastic contrast. From across the room they're statement heels; up close they
become a scavenger hunt through individual pieces of comic artwork.
Details include:
- Original Charlotte Russe platform pumps
- Women's US size 8
- Custom hand-applied Batman comic-book
collage/decoupage
- Different artwork and scenes throughout each shoe
- Batman character imagery and comic dialogue
- Classic comic-book action graphics and sound effects
- Artwork extending around the platforms and stiletto
heels
- Dramatic approximately 5.5" stiletto heel
- Approximately 1.75" front platform
- Rounded closed toe
- Slip-on pump construction
- Bright red/pink interior
- Man-made materials
- Made in China
The hand-applied nature of
the decoration is visible and is part of the character of the shoes. Individual
comic pieces, overlaps and transitions can be seen throughout rather than a
factory-printed repeating pattern. There is also age/use-related wear to the
applied finish, including areas of creasing, wrinkling, roughness and edge
wear, with some small areas showing lifting or deterioration.
These are consequently
best appreciated for exactly what they are: a wonderfully over-the-top,
one-of-a-kind pair of Batman statement heels.
Wear them for a comic
convention, cosplay event, Halloween, themed party or an evening when subtlety
simply isn't on the agenda — or put them on display with a Batman/DC
collection. At nearly eight inches tall overall with comic artwork running
right down those needle-thin heels, they're somewhere between footwear and
sculpture.
They may have started life
as Charlotte Russe pumps.
Somebody had considerably
bigger plans for them.
