CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN RELEASED A MARVEL COLLECTION. VIEWERS ARE NOT HAVING IT

With the high price tag that Louboutins, like many other luxury offerings carry, the question of quality often arises: Is paying for the cost of a used car really worth it for a pair of shoes? TikTokers who responded to a recent clip posted by Paul (@redbottombestie) don’t think so after seeing the influencer show off Louboutin’s collaboration with Marvel.

Extricating a pair of shoes from a Louboutin bag, he gushes about the “limited edition” Marvel branded plaque that comes with the purchase—calling this item itself worth the “investment” of buying the shoes.

He pulls out a golden sandal looking heel that is decorated with a clear plastic foot cover decorated in various beads as part of Louboutin’s “Imperiuos Rex” ($1,495) offerings. 

Paul goes on to extol the design of the shoe, calling it a “playful” take on Marvel’s superhero themes blended with Louboutin’s aesthetic.

Next up is the “Infinity” ($1,995) sandals line, which Paul says is probably his favorite item in the Marvel line up. He presents the red shoe, which is decorated with several gem like pieces of plastic that are color-coordinated to match the Infinity stones from the Avengers: Infinity War.

Third is the “Infinity Clutch” ($3,490) which is a small purse with a chain clutch handle. One side of the bag features a dark, iridescent design, and on the other half of the bag is a scattered assortment of bedazzled, mini pieces of bling.

While Paul seemed to be a big fan of the items, a number of commenters who saw his video didn’t exactly seem enthused with the Marvel offerings. One user said “I adore Louboutin. I adore Marvel. I hate alllll of these. Why are they so tacky?!”
