This is an example of how great love can make a man do extraordinary things for his wife. These custom made Gold sneakers from Sole Bro were given as a special gift of a husband to his loving wife. The shoes had the name & initials of his wife, with golden Swooshes and swirling flourishes. These were meticulously gilded in genuine 24 karat gold to produce the perfect gift for her birthday. A stylized emblem was created from her initials (R.R.) and gilded in place at the rear of the shoe; her first name was placed on the other side. Golden laces were used to accent the design. To the hopeless romantics out there, how far would you go to express your love to your special someone?
