The world’s most expensive pair of shoes has been put on
sale for a jaw-dropping $17 million (N6.1 billion). It is made out of leather,
gold, silk and diamonds.
A Dubai-based shoemaker named Jada Dubai unveiled the shoes
at the Burj Al Arab hotel. “Dubai is the city of millionaires and billionaires…
we see it as a potential market, along with the entire (Gulf) region,” said
Hemant Karamchandani, chief executive of Passion Jewelers, which supplied the
jewels.
The shoe took about 9 months to create, according to the
maker of the shoe.
“There will be only
one pair of The Passion Diamond Shoes in the world. “We had to prototype many
shoes in Italy in order to find the perfect shape, perfect heel, the perfect
color for it.
“Even inside, the logos of both companies are made out gold,
which is very thin, so it will be very comfortable for walking”.
