Christian Louboutin Sneakers + red bottom wannabe’s

Christian Louboutin Studded Sneakers and the red bottom “wannabes”

If you haven’t already noticed, I’m kinda obsessed with Christian Louboutin’s (CL) aka “red bottoms”. The designer has crossed over with this HOT studded sneaker for men worn by him and music producer, Pharrell Williams.

Mr. Louboutin is giving all the other shoe designers a run for their money. Celebrities love his designs and are spotted wearing his shoes all over the red carpets. Even us “normal” folks have jumped on the bandwagon. When I was in New York I was at a bar at W hotel in Manhattan and for the short hour I was there approximately 10 women were spotted with the infamous red bottom. This past holiday weekend a few girls in Columbus, Ohio had them on. While browsing on Facebook I came across pictures of girls who don’t even seem like they would be CL wearers. I’ve also noticed a few unlikely characters here in the DMV as well. For those “suspect” cases, I’ve questioned whether the shoes were authentic because #1 I know how much they cost and #2 I’ve seen the bootleg websites that sell fake Louboutins for $200. “Red Bottoms” for $200??? Where dey do that at? Well, anyway I figured out one of the possible reasons why I see ”red bottoms” everywhere….some of them might not be fake but they shole ‘aint Louby’s.

It pains me to introduce you to Apple Bottom Footwear

Yes! Apple Bottom Footwear has stolen the signature red bottom!

Please don’t fall for it by trying to: “fake it til you make it”. Don’t purchase these or any other shoes with red bottoms besides the real deal in attempt to pass for Christian Louboutin shoes. In my opinion it takes away from the Louboutin brand. Furthermore, as a company why would you want to capitalize on the success built from another’s distinct, stand out, red sole detail? NOT COOL in my book. Nelly get yo people!
