Despite being wacky and difficult to walk in, replicas of Lady Gaga’s heel-less shoes have sold out.
Noritaka Tatehana, a Japanese designer, created the original shoes. He became famous as fans clamored to get their hands on a pair. However, the $2,500 to $4,800 price tag was too expensive for most (CocoPerez, April 2011 and Lomrantz, April 2011).
Recently, a knock-off version was created, Magic Leopard Platforms available at Nasty Girl for $118. While, that’s still pricey it’s a lot cheaper than $4,800. The shoes are completely sold out now.
Other knock-offs are probably in the works.

I apologize for the long time without any updates. As a full time student, sometimes school work gets in the way. However, I have some great post ideas in mind, so keep checking back!
