Giuseppe Zanotti has been designing the shoes for Balmain ever since Christophe Decarnin took over the French fashion house in 2006. I love how Zanotti always manages to reflect the key looks of the collection in his designs. Balmain S/S 2010 was infused with military references and looking at these studded lace-up booties you can see these references here as well. The faded army green color, the shrapnel-style studs, the utilitarian zipper. Swoooooon!

Well, the color has been exchanged, but the design of these studded lace-up booties by ZiGiny has been taken over 1:1. Don’t tell anyone, but I think the tan suede color might be a little more doable than the original green color of the originals.

These booties are absolutely stunning and I love the way Rihanna and Alicia wore them. But I agree with you about the color. MAYBE I’d prefer the ZiGiny “Jemma” Ankle Boots… Oh, I didn’t say that right now. Okay, I did. ^_^
No bueno…they look like a studded version of those Manolo Blahnik “Timbs” boots from years ago.
