The new offerings from Christian Louboutin have popped up, and they’re certainly a pleasure to see. The all star inspired canvas sneaks are full of little details that set them apart from the crowd. With an incredibly light color palette these shoes look more like cupcakes than canvas. The slight pink hew to the leather detail is grounded nicely by a mainly silver mesh upper, and all if it is given some kick with a candy red sole.
