Norma Kamali shoes on the cover of Sports Style, August 1, 1983 Norma Kamali high heeled sneakers, 1983

#7427 - c. 1983 NORMA KAMALI High Heeled Sneakers!  OK, so here's the second pair of these Norma Kamali high heeled sneakers that I was damn lucky enough to find recently!  I really hadn't even known that there was more than one style, but now I do!  :)   These are more a pump shape, but still have the sneaker details.  They must have come in other colors as well, but I haven't fully researched that yet, however I'm assuming these are both from the same year and collection.  Thanks to kickshawproductions.com, below is a photo of the cover of Sports Style, August 1, 1983, and a photo of the sneaks in red and white.  So I can now date them exactly (I just LOVE researching!).  I hate to sell these, damn it, but it's my job!  As you can see, I couldn't resist trying them on though (yes, that is MY foot... you should just photographing your own foot in a shoe... it's not easy! :)  Navy Suede leather upper and off-white rubber, with the original white laces. Labeled size 7B  Excellent condition with just the most minor wear and some glue residue at the toes (a shoe repair guy could probably spruce that up, but I leave items are I find them for historical sake.  Patent Pending, Made in Taiwan R.O.C. (that's Republic of China  - for those of you who don't know).  Museum Quality!  Any time these high heeled sneakers come to the market, they sell like hotcakes. Don't miss your chance to own what you've probably always wanted as well! :)  

SOLD - but on display in Museum Category for Research/Display
