Bullet sandals, $650

Bloomingdales carries these Giuseppe Zanotti "Bullet" Thong sandals. Yours for a mere $650.

"I understand 'fierce," tweeted Boing Boing pal Kristie LuStout. "I don't understand $650 designer sandals with BULLETS all over them."

Oh, it's worse than that, Kristie. They're bedazzled bullets.

  That’s amazing. I never even knew that existed.

Gasp! Incredible!
I’m really the first pedant to wander by and point out that those aren’t bullets, but cartridges or rounds!
Wonderful.
Don’t try to get out of it by saying that there are bullets there as part of the cartridges.

Could turn a hot foot from a mean prank into a potentially lethal event.

For taking down high couture werewolves and glampires.

My gun safe is a Zanotti.

I’m guessing no relation.

  I think the designer has really shot themselves in the foot…

Looks more like diet pills.

Xeni, sometimes I think you just don’t understand fashion.

Zanotti also made some awesome skull sandals you should look up.

  My inner Cruella wants to comment on this, but I won’t let me.

  Maybe that’s not a bad thing though!

If the bullets popped out and were miniature lip-glosses and mascaras in a variety of edgy colours (Like Urban Decay a decade ago) I’d be all over these. In fact, why didn’t UD adopt ‘munitions-glam’ packaging? I bet D&G would have collaborated with them on something like that – so cute!

Those aren’t bullets, they are glamour pills, clear gelatin capsules filled with the purest glittery fairy dust curried from My Little Ponies…

Cannot wait for the first person to wear these through a TSA checkpoint.

Can’t wait for the first person to attempt to board an aircraft with a pair of these.

Replace the bullets with Prozac capsules. A whole different message…

I don’t understand “fierce.” Sandals aren’t fierce unless they’re Spartan-style.

IMHO the world’s most expensive, tasteless, and impractical flip-flops….
