The style world is getting a kick out of those boots.
Neon green knee-high boots that resemble Dipsy, a personality from the kids’s TV show “Teletubbies,” are being sold for $2,500.
The eclectic footwear was created by Latest York-based designer Christian Cowan, who is thought for his celebrity clients including Lady Gaga, Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé.
He recently posted a photograph of the boots on his Instagram page, writing, “No caption vital.”
In one other post, Cowan explained the inspiration behind what he dubbed a “capsule collection,” featuring Teletubbie-themed items with hefty price tags.
A denim jacket emblazoned with Po, the red Teletubbie, retails for $595, while a hoodie featuring Laa-Laa, the yellow one, sells for $395. Purple character Tinky Winky, appears on $195 white T-shirt, while Dipsy can be found on a pair of $495 wide-leg jeans.
“We were throwing around a number of popular culture icons, after which it struck us, let’s do THE icons. We treated Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po & Tinkey-Winkey (sic) just like the legends they’re,” he said.
“Big hugs for the very best collaboration ever!” the official Instagram page for “Teletubbies” commented on Cowan’s post, using one in every of the characters’ catchphrases.
Paris Hilton was amongst those salivating over the gathering, with the fashionista writing, “Need!” under the post.
One user said this was “my ’90s baby fantasy” while one other wrote it was “literally iconic.”
But it surely wasn’t all “big hugs” for the collab.
Just a few commenters wrote “WTF” while one snarked it was “too overpriced for this s–t.”
“Sexualizing kids’ cartoons is wild,” one hater wrote.
“Teletubbies” was a world smash during its original BBC run in 1997 to 2001, winning several BAFTAs and being nominated for 2 Daytime Emmys.
Merchandise sales also raked in greater than $1 billion.
The show was rebooted within the UK and US in 2015, and the US version hit hit Netflix last yr.
