Sneaker Khussas are the latest shoe trend that is blowing up the internet

Just when we thought Christopher Kane topped the list for the ugliest shoes ever made, we came across a recent trend that just made us think harder on fashion trends.

So, the latest 'chic' trend are the 'Pointy-Toe Sneakers' or as I like to call them, the sneaker khussas.



At the Spring 2018 Loewe show, Jonathan Anderson unveiled a devilishly pointy-toe sneaker.

The sporty footwear was elevated, rendered in reptile skin in colors of green, sand, and mahogany with a tip that had a distinctive upward curve.

According to Vogue’s Chief Fashion Critic, Sarah Mower, the collection was themed around the “traveling woman with her craft souvenirs,” the kind who might take a quick jaunt to Morocco.

The shoes were indeed inspired by the pointy-toe babouche slipper that at times has an exaggerated tip.

Of course, people on Twitter couldn't help but notice the references to both elves and Aladdin:

While fashion's sneaker obsession likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon, will these pointy renditions become the next street style must-haves? What do you think?
