It appears as though sky high shoes are beginning to look like the future of fashion with fellow designers like the late Alexander McQueen designing the 10 inch Armadillo shoes. I can really see this trend taking off in the mass market if the price point changes to something more affordable. The current price for a pair of Noritaka Tatehana shoes ranges from $2,500-$6,500. While pocket change for celebrities like Lady Gaga these pricey creations are something most of us can only dream of owning. I would love to see Noritaka Tatehana do a similar but affordable line of these shoes for Payless since other high end designers like Christian Siriano and Alice + Olivia have seen tremendous success in catering similar versions of their designs to mass market fashion consumers.
