These is red bottoms


Its 2018 and its been well over have a year since its initial release but everyone is stilling spitting out Cardi B's hot lines from her now multi platinum single "Bodak Yellow". Ofcourse louboutins aka, "red bottoms, aka, bloody shoes" have been around much before Cardi ever purchased her first pair, or shall I say, both pairs? ( she dont gotta choose) however she did manage to have the whole world rapping along side her chorus all about Christian Louboutin's iconic red bottomed heels.

So how did they come to be? There are many fables surrounding the original story, which is that of which the French designer noticed his secretary was painting her nails a bright red colour and he then proceeded to paint the sole of a pair of his heels red, with the exact nail varnish, and voila! The birth of the first ever Christian Louboutin heels in the form they would forever remain in.

Think the story is slightly underwhelming? Me too. But I've found that there is another version which is much more enticing.
