Product Description:
An exceptionally rare archive runway piece from the Alexander McQueen era under Lee McQueen himself — embodying the house’s most iconic fusion of dark romanticism and rebellious punk energy.
Crafted in supple black leather, this sculptural high heel sandal is defined by its striking industrial chain detailing that cascades across the upper, creating a bold contrast against the sleek silhouette. The front strap is densely set with micro crystal studs, adding a subtle shimmer that elevates the raw edge into couture territory. A signature star charm detail — encrusted and suspended from the chain — introduces a symbolic, almost ritualistic element, echoing McQueen’s fascination with mythology, armor, and subculture.
The design is anchored by a sharp stiletto heel with a metal spine detail, reinforcing its aggressive, architectural presence. Every angle of this shoe reflects meticulous craftsmanship and conceptual storytelling — making it far more than footwear, but a wearable artifact of fashion history.
Extremely limited in production and now nearly impossible to source on the market, this pair stands firmly within collector-level archive territory.
A true statement for collectors, stylists, and those drawn to the raw, uncompromising spirit of early McQueen — where punk, luxury, and narrative collide.
