French haute couture designer Christian Lacroix has teamed up with British tennis shoe vet Gola to launch a series of elaborately designed sneakers. After Pierre Hardy blew my mind with their primary paint colored highs, I was waiting to see more high fashion houses to do sneakers.
The Paisley embroidered designs are great interpretations of Christian Lacroix – very theatrical and romantic. I can see either of these paired with a ruffled silk blouse, fitted blazer, and super skinny jeans. The slim silhouette allows this shoe to be styled with dressier pieces for a very put together look.

These are set to drop January, 2009 and will be priced from $250.00 – $400.00. If you’re a comfort chic, the cost per wear on these joints could be worth the ticket!
