You never quite got the joys of Heelys (kids' shoes attached with wheels). Or maybe those sneakers with soles that light up on-demand. But if you were given an adult-only footwear with any of those possibilities embedded into the design, let go of the reservations and shoot your shot. Where to find a pair that remixes all the fun and flex? You may not believe it but think Chanel. Its latest cruise 2023 collection that was first previewed in Los Angeles in May showcased several pairs of lace-up booties that has a heel capable of lighting up like a glowstick. It lights up at the press of a button hidden at the back of the block heel. And don't worry, the light emitted here isn't as in-your-face as clubbing lights or the neons on the Vegas strip. These feature a soft glow, one that you can sort of label as iridescent. Wear this to any year-end shindig: Everyone will know that you've arrived. When not to wear these? Well, apply the same principles when it comes to nice shoes and wet weather.
