Rock & Republic is a brand I’ve managed to completely ignore for… well, forever, really.
These ‘Alexa’ slingbacks, however, were just begging to be written about, so here they are. Red and black is a combination that’s almost guaranteed to get my attention on shoe, and “getting attention” is more or less what these shoes were designed for. Would the attention be for the right reasons or the wrong ones, though? Well, when you’re dealing with a 5.5″ stiletto heel and a high platform, you just know you’re going to be walking that very fine line between “wow” and “stripper shoe” (not that it’s ever stopped me, of course), don’t you? Which side of the line do these shoes fall on? I’m going to leave that up to you to decide….
BUY: Rock & Republic ‘Alexa’ slingbacks, $439
No, I don’t think they look stripperesque, but I’m still not sure whether I like them or not. They vaguely remind me of the Balenciaga legos, which I hated. These are not as bad, but still, I don’t think I’d wear them.
Gorgeous!!! Dark wash skinny jeans and a frilly black top, anyone? ;]
I love them!
The red heel is gorgeous and the way they’re strappy on the front is interesting.
Trying to walk in them would be hard though…lol
If they were pink, or transparent, or had sparkles on them, they’d definitely be stripper shoes. But I think the colours on these work beautifully.
j’adore!!! i second what alix said 😀
I think they look fine
I like them quite a lot.
