This is the second time Topshop have released this Unique shoe collection, so presumably the first time was a roaring success for them.
I’m going to be completely honest and admit that, although I think Topshop is perhaps the best brand on the UK high street in terms of footwear, these aren’t quite to my taste: there’s something that’s just that little bit too 80s about the angular heel designs and bright colours, and while I know the 80s are going through a major fashion renaissance, I just can’t wait for it to end.
That said, these shoes are definitely “Unique”, which is why I’m showing you them now. There are three styles to choose from: the slingbacks and shoe boots are £100 each, while the courts are £90. Having just said they’re not to my taste, I actually don’t think I’d hurl the black versions of the shoe boots into space, and the bright green pumps are starting to grow on me, purely because I can’t resist that colour. What do you think of them?
Great site! It’s such a pleasant gallery to peruse. That’s all I have to say 🙂
Oh, who am I kidding. These shoes remind me of what people of the 80’s thought the future would look like. All acidic colors and wackadoo angles and what not. So, I suppose they figure, here’s the future, this is how we need to be dressing now. That said, I’d get the blue ones.
Oh yes, totally – like in old episodes of Star Trek etc where the vision of the “future” now just looks totally laughable! I think the colours have a lot to do with it, though: like I said, the boots are actually quite tempting in plain black…
Oh no – this website is going to be bad for my bank balance, isn’t it?!
Nice work chica.
And I kinda like the uber-eighties green ones! God knows why…
It’s already been bad for mine! Now, as well as having to look at clothes and makeup every day for The Fashion Police and Hey-Dollface, I’m having to look at shoes too. It’s amazing I have any money left!
I actually quite like the green ones too. I think they’re “growers”…
Due to the bright colors and the pointiness of the toes, I think “court jester” when I see these shoes. If the shoes weren’t as brightly colored, they’d be pretty cute.
Yes, they are a bit court-jester-ish!
No, not my thing… I don’t get the whole 80s revival thing. A few years ago, everyone was super-anxious to burn their pictures from the 80s, and now it’s suddenly all supposed to be ok again. Don’t give in! 80s fashion was created by the devil!
When I first saw the bright Easter-egg-y colors all together, I was like “Ew”, but if you look at each individual shoe, they’re kinda okay. And I do like the green color.
Quite a lot of me is liking them. That’s awful isn’t it. But they are rather beautifully obscure. (Hmmm, “rather” “beautifully” “obscure”: not three words I ever thought I’d put together).
I love the colors but I’m not big on the gold. I think its the gold that makes them a bit too much for my taste, and if they lost the metal they would be more retro chic than outdated.
