Versace‘s latest black leather derby shoes with BDSM straps comes as no surprise from the brand that has been perpetuating fetish in fashion since the 1990s. In a recently published HYPEBEAST editorial on BDSM and streetwear, it notes: “menswear has its own history of borrowing from kink culture… [i]t began in the realm of the submissive in BDSM culture and became an aesthetic in and of itself.”
The derbys’ outer and lining composition are both crafted in 100% leather, staying true to its shoe category with a typical rounded toe and open lace-up front, the latter a result of its shoelace outlets placed atop its vamp. Dominated by BDSM inspiration, the Italian fashion house adds harness-looking straps over the derbys’ lateral side and across its front, with silver-tone hardware that is reminiscent of the punk rock-popularized double grommet leather belt. Finally everything is placed atop an elevated 100% rubber sole with blue-lined insole and a red Versace Medusa’s head facing its outer base.
If this BDSM-inspired derby submission from Versace fancies your footwear fetish, head over to Browns Fashion now to pick a pair for $1,550 USD.
