Hot Chick Sling 100 Patent-Leather Slingback Pumps

Christian Louboutin's iconic lacquered soles were created by accident in 1993 when the designer spotted one of his assistants painting their nails. He took the polish and applied it to a prototype, transforming the soles from black to statement red. Set on sky-high stiletto heels, these 'Hot Chick Sling' pumps are made from glossy patent-leather with curved slingback straps.

With their signature red soles, Christian Louboutin’s shoes helped define a decade. Yet his footwear extends beyond the dizzying stiletto heels he’s best known for, to classically elegant black pumps, sleek leather loafers, ankle boots, luxe sneakers and nostalgic espadrille wedges, all exuding his trademark glamour.
