YSL is taking athleisure to new heights with the arrival of its stiletto-skates.
Set to hit our shores sometime in August, a precious few pieces will be available at Level Shoes and at the brand's Mall of the Emirates boutique.
While we don’t know exactly how much they will cost yet, we do know this much: you should not attempt to actually use them. However gorgeous they are, this will lead to all sorts of precious things being broken, notably your ankle and your dignity.
Here's a few other kooky finds that we can't really justify, but are lusting after nonetheless.
