DUBAI: The world’s “most expensive” pair of shoes worth $ 17 million has been launched in the UAE, according to reports.
The luxury footwear, made from diamonds and real gold, was designed and created over a period of nine months, Khaleej Times reported.
The Passion Diamond Shoes, with a price tag of 62.4 million dirham (USD 17 million), feature hundreds of diamonds, together with two imposing D-flawless diamonds of 15 carats each, the report added.
To a question, Maria Majari, co-founder and creative director of Jada Dubaisaid the $17 million price for the Passion Diamond Shoes is fixed and there will be no sales at the event. “There will be only one pair of the Passion Diamond Shoes in the world,” the Khaleej Times reported the co-founder as saying.
“We started this project right after Jada Dubai’s first collection launched in January 2018. The time required was nine months as we had to choose the perfect diamonds for such an exclusive pair of shoes.
“We had to prototype many shoes in Italy in order to find the perfect shape, perfect heel and the perfect colour. Even inside, the logos of both companies are made of gold, which is very thin, so it will be very comfortable for walking,” she elaborated.
Asked why they chose Dubai to launch the most expensive footwear, she said: “Our product identifies with the glamorous city of Dubai and both the companies that created the shoes are from the UAE.”
