Our Harajuku Barbie shoe merges Hip-Hop and Japanese fashion. While street style often leans "masculine," Nicki Minaj, the "Queen of Rap," demonstrated that women can also make bold, "feminine" statements. One of her most recognized personas, Harajuku Barbie, inspired us to create an innovative boot heel that encourages personal expression. The leg warmer blends denim and lace for an authentic street vibe, while the heel features playful bows and charms from Harajuku fashion. Its eye-catching design allows anyone to express their individuality in a bold way.
