[Abdullah719]

Handcrafted 24-carat gold sport shoes made of crocodile-skin will be sold exclusively in Dubai for fashion lovers at $20,000 by one of the world's luxury shoe suppliers.

The luxe sneakers by Athletic Propulsion Labs, better known as APL, were unveiled over the weekend during the Level Shoes event at Dubai’s Sole DXB footwear fair.

The upper part is comprised of the finest Nile crocodile skin immersed in 24K pure gold. The crocodile’s tongue was used with the delicately hand stamped APL logo.

Fine waxed cotton laces tie the luxury package together.

The made-to-order shoes allow their “privileged” owners to personalize them with their name detailed on the inside of the shoe.

The limited edition pair require up to 12 weeks from order to delivery.

I am surprised that its still on sale! Given the like for such objects amongst the local wealthy class, this would have been sold out hours ago!

Also the 12 week lead time - guess takes 12 weeks to hunt down a croc?

I wonder what's the markup on this product? More than 100%?

Too risky to wear them I guess. Just buy them and leave them at home on display.
