Every once in a while someone comes along with a genius idea that adds a little more fabolousity to your life.
At basketball games everywhere you always see your favorite celeb like Beyonce stunting courtside in a High Heeled pair of Louboutins..
Well now you may not get the opportunity to stunt courtside but thanks to a company called Herstar, ladies will now be able to show off their team pride in a very feminine way. Pumps & STILETTO style!
The NBA has recently linked up with an Orlando-based company called Herstar to create two types of pro-basketball footwear that feature team logos.
The crown jewels of the collection are the crystal-covered, 6-inch heels with a 3-inch platform for $249.99.
For the women who don’t care to be so icy they also offer a 4-inch, micro-suede heel with a 1-inch platform version for $99.99.
Ladies or men who want to buy their woman a pair have the option of choosing from all of the 30 NBA teams in addition to the college and football heels the company already sales..
But not so fast, since the company has been waiting on the licensing agreement with the NBA their backorders are in the thousands already. The Swarovski Crystal heels are custom made and may take up to 8 weeks to make and ship.
Herstar’s female founder Holly Joffrion revealed that she came up with the idea for the heels after realizing that women love shoes as much as they love their favorite team, so why not put them together to show team spirit:
“We look forward to offering sports fans a high-end line of fashionable heels. We understand how much women love their shoes and recognize that going to an NBA game can be an event beyond the hardwood. We’re able to combine the love of basketball and footwear together, allowing female fans another way to display their passion for the game.”
So far, their top selling heels are the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder and if you can’t rock the 4- or 6-inch heels, they’ll customize the heels to a shorter height.
I can already hear Khinnidi Bethanco screaming after she reads the news.. This is so right up her alley.. I wasn’t much into sports before but I’ll admit that I may have to pick me up a pair of Miami Heat High heels.. #TeamLebron
DOES THIS CHANGE THE GROUPIE GAME?
