There is nothing that shouts sassy than a good pair of heels. How much cooler do you think it will be if your pumps shout out Sex from roof-tops. This new pair of patent leather pumps from Christian Louboutin does just that and we hope to think our wifes and girlfriends will be more than happy to wear them. These bold shoes feature three crystal studded letters, S, E and X that conjure up to the word sex. We’re just hoping to bump into some lady who’s all game to handle the attention that she would draw wearing these oomph-y pair of 5-inch pumps.

For Spring 2012, Vans Syndicate presents a project from old pals Anthony Van Engelen and Jason Dill. Teaming up on a three-style pack, the Alien Workshop-bred pros chose to update two classic Vans silhouettes, the Authentic Pro “S” and the Old Skool ’92 Pro “S”, as well as one of Anthony’s all-time favorites, the AV Sk8-Low “S”.
Each style boasts cream of the crop leathers including thick gauge dress shoe leather uppers and pigskin linings. The Authentic Pro “S” blends in faux snakeskin, while the Old Skool ’92 Pro “S” sports a faux cheetah fur upper. The AV Sk8-Low “S” plays it straight with the sleek black leather upper, but with the faux snakeskin and cheetah fur lining the inside.
All three pairs come complete with a crystal rubber outsole tread and project specific Syndicate trim and packaging. Also look for a cool scorpion design on the footbed of the shoes, representing the Scorpio symbol, AVE and Dill’s sign.
