Christian Louboutin is well known for his red-soled women’s stilettos, however, from 2009 onwards he began to design men’s shoes as well. This new direction began after male pop star MIKA worked with the designer to create a shoe that he could dance in comfortably yet also look eye-catching on stage. The Louboutin men’s shoe has reinforced leather in the toe, allowing Mika to dance on his points.These shoes were donated by Leo Lim, a private investor. Lim bought this pair of Louboutin sneakers, decorated with hand set silver strass crystals, from the Louboutin shop in Ngee Ann City, which opened in 2009. Lim would wear these eye-catching shoes with printed or tie dye streetwear, or with more formal attire at social events.
