Throwin on my Louboutins

"I am so dope, like Louboutin's with the red bottoms, you gotta have 'em, you glad you got 'em." - Jay Z

My question is what is the obsession with Louboutins all of a sudden!? For those of you who don't know Christian Louboutin is a footwear designer of high end shoes most known for their trademark red soles. Recently they're becoming more and more popular, meaning people who can't afford them are now breaking their necks to buy them. Why is that you ask? Not because they're a fan of the wonderful craftsmanship and design, but for all the other reasons that the average consumer buys anything... they've seen their favorite celebrity wearing them. It's just as simple as that. Rihanna has them, the Kardashians, Beyonce, and Fergie. So what do you think do you love them? Will you get a pair?


Don't fret none (corny I know) if you can't afford this authentic wardrobe staple and just want the look, here are some of my picks for knock offs.
