I have to give all the credit to our community member Bob for this one, but it needed to be shared with the world.

Check out these shoes from Balenciaga's Fall 2007 collection. Somebody on their design team has got to be a snowboarder.

From the ankle and toe strap to the detail onthe heels everything on these shoes scream binding! The materials like the mesh, aluminum, and brightly colored plastic are all things you'd find on binding these days. The black ones even have a cap strap!

I can't find them listed in any US stores but in the UK they cost £1820 which these days is over $3600! I know we've seen snowboarding and high fashion overlap before, but never quite like this. Although I guess when you are wearing heels that high you really could use a highback.
