High Heels Inspired By Video Games? Yes, Please!

by Jennifer Ash

Nicholas Kirkwood celebrated the 10th anniversary of his namesake footwear line with a quirky collection inspired by pop culture. With a reputation for defying the norm by creating shoes with an unexpectedly quirky, artful flair, it isn’t surprising that his most recent collection left us awestruck. “10”, which even has its own website to commemorate a decade of cult-favorite designs, pays homage to popular video games, toys and films of the ’80s (think Pac-Man, Star Wars and Back to the Future) with a 10-piece capsule of graphic, statement heels. Whether or not you’re in the market for an eye-catching pair of shoes, these limited edition, made-to-order styles are so insane you have to at least sneak a quick peek on your lunch break. And if you do decide to splurge, pair your pick with a monochromatic outfit and modern, minimal jewelry for your next GNO. Game on!
