Why it's worth it

The palm tree is cast in gold and it's literally the heel.

The Edit

Where the heel meets the counter, a polished gold palm tree trunk rises to a crown of croc-embossed black leather fronds — the shoe's entire identity concentrated into 90mm of Italian-made sculpture. Up front, slim thong straps in the same croc-effect nappa cross a square open toe, the vamp kept deliberately spare so nothing competes with what's happening at the back. Full leather lining finishes the footbed clean.
