Crazy Fashion: Y-3 Torsion Heel

Not since the NBA jersey dress came in style has the fashion world been introduced to a tragic trend. Until now.

According to Parlour Magazine, Y-3 recently released the Torsion Heel for their collection with Adidas. Though Y- 3 is known for its edgy, risky take on athletic wear, this might be a tad bit much.  According to the creators, the vision behind the shoes was to create a futuristic athletic shoe for the fashion forward woman, describing it as “the future right at your feet.” However, some might argue that the shoe has taken a piece of the past with this new creation. Who can forget when designer Manolo Blahnik took the ordinary Timberland boot and made them into hottest heels in town or when ladies thought it would be cool to wear their favorite Jordan’s as their high heel foot accessory but has Y-3 made the right sneaker heels?

What do you think? Do you think the Torsion heel will be the next big thing in the fashion world or will it be a major fail for the collection?
