Our friends at Elastic Wonder did it again and came up with the affordable LeggingShoes™. In case you haven't heard about Balenciaga's version the PantaShoes, let me fill you in. This new pair of leg/shoe wear for women are a hybrid of pants and shoes combined - or in Elastic Wonder's case it's leggings and shoes. They have a body conscious fit and are inspired by fetish catsuits. On the runway they look something like this:
Needless to say the designers at Elastic Wonder became obsessed with this new fashion fetish and they guessed right and predicted that there must be countless women searching for a pair of affordable quality PantaShoes right about now. Just as they did.
There were only a few really bad copies of the Pantashoes on the market: too sheer, made with low quality fabric that does not stretch back (no recovery), does not stretch enough or stretches too little depending on your shoe and body size (you can't choose your body size!) and really uncomfortable shoes.
Facing the seemingly only option of spending $2850 on a pair of Balenciaga PantaShoes. The design team decided to make a pair themselves. If you think that's a bit ambitious and you're asking "What are your qualifications?" While that's a fair question, remember that those folks are specialized in leggings own their own fashion label and know the do's and don't's of working with spandex fabric, all they had to do was change the pattern to include the cover of a stiletto shoe!

And here is the prototype. Fabulous, smooth and sexy. But that's not all! During their limited pre-sale month Elastic Wonder decided to let their early adopters pick their favorite color from over 80 different ones.
Choose a minty green or a fabulous orchid. It's up to you, then pick your legging size and your shoe size.
