Christian Louboutin riffs on its classic Kate pump with this updated iteration. Dubbed the Sporty Kate on account of its streamlined silhouette and varsity-esque CL monogram hardware, the style continues to be defined by its stiletto heel, nappa leather exterior and, of course, its lacquered red sole – there’s simply no shoe that better embodies the aesthetic of Christian Louboutin. Please note, Christian Louboutin’s signature lacquered soles will wear out with use, this is normal wear and tear and is not considered to be a manufacturing defect. Please try these shoes on a carpeted surface, as any damage to the soles may prevent us from accepting returns.
