Appropriately dubbed the "Illusion Ankle Boots," this $2,500 pair of knee-high boots do not look like boots at all. The "illusion" allude to the fact that said boots curiously look like a socked mannequin leg modeling a pair of black pumps.
TikTok fashion creator @izzipoopi described the footwear as the "ultimate Polly Pocket shoe" in a series of posts showing off and styling the four-figure Louie V's as part of different outfits.
