Presented during the Louis Vuitton autumn-winter 2023-2024 show, this pair of boots gives the impression of a bare leg in a white ribbed sock, which is in turn tucked into a black pump. A WTF shoe sold for 2,000 euros that immediately went viral on TikTok and Instagram.
In the WTF fashion department, Louis Vuitton just launched some ankle boots that give the optical illusion of a bare leg in a white sock tucked into a black pump. Available in two shades of leather (light or dark), the pair of shoes sold for 2,000 euros on the house’s eshop is already having fun on Instagram and TikTok, as it looks like an accessory for Polly Pocket.
Count on €2,000 for a pair of boots that pretend to be a sock in a Louis Vuitton pump

Presented during the Louis Vuitton autumn-winter 2023-2024 fashion show by Nicolas Ghesquière, this pair of boots presents itself as a tribute to surrealist artists. Their goal is clearly to give the illusion of a ribbed sock in a pair of black pumps. And if they are so divisive, it is precisely because their rubbery texture at the level of what represents a bare leg appears deliberately artificial, giving rise to a visual contrast that we love or hate.
In the comments of a videounpacking by a private individual (@izzipoopi on TikTok) republished by the media High snobbishness on Instagram there are those who express their embarrassment, others have believed in a prosthesis, while people wonder if the couple also exists in other skin tones (the use of TikTok and Instagram has visibly made part of the general public incapable of searching the answer to your questions). questions on any search engine in two seconds…).
On the Louis Vuitton eshop you can find these boots at the price of €2000.
If their deliberately cartoonish appearance proves divisive, we can nevertheless find the advantage of being able to allow fans of décolleté socks to continue dedicating themselves to their passion even when it’s cold, without fear of catching a cold. Magritte’s surrealist joke is simply (very) expensive.
