Pretty snazzy Vivienne Westwood-Melissa collaboration. Now who says you can't walk on air?! For $174, the shoe features a 3 inch geisha-like platform, wings on each side, and a glossy sheen. It comes in white, black, gold, and fuschia.
The Trivia part is...
"Which god is represented by winged sandals? That would be Hermes! Hermes was the messenger of the gods, which is why he needed to be quick on his feet, hence the winged sandals. Greeks also considered him the patron of travelers and would sacrifice to him before any major trips. So, what about Nike? Nike was the winged goddess of victory (how badass is that?). Girlfriend flew through battlefields rewarding those who won battles. She's associated with strength, speed, and victory. No wonder Nike named themselves after her!"
