Christian Louboutin riffs on its classic Kate pump with this updated slingback 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 red lacquered soles will wear out when tried on a hard surface other than carpet; 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.
