Every season, Report Signature comes out with a shoe that I covet. I see them in clouds, in my spaghetti, in my dreams, everywhere. Steve Madden does the crappiest copy and my heart breaks and well, I never get them. Not because of the crappy copy… I just fall in love with the most impractical shoes ever and I can’t justify the cost to frequent wear ratio in my mind.
I was at the doctor’s office yesterday and whilst waiting, I perused the latest Elle magazine – the crazy YSL cage coat on Beyonce issue – and I saw them. I can’t find them online anywhere and I wish I had just torn the page out! So help me god, bad economy or not, I will have these damn shoes. Trust that I have already written to Report and they will be informing me on when they become available.
White.
Neoprene.
Two ankle clips.
I said clips.
Stiletto heel.
Bright splashes of color.
Open toe, open sides, strappy ankle bootie style.
Oh.
My.
God.
UPDATE 12.23.08 : They got back to me. They will be available this Spring. I still can’t find a picture!
UPDATE 1.08.09: If you have stumbled onto this blog in search of the Report Signature neoprene heels featured in Elle magazine, please read this updated blog post. Thanks!
UPDATE 01.15.09: finally a picture!!!

Ahhh…God I loved those shoes too!!! I’ve been trying to track them down & now finally know their fate after reading your blog. I agree that buyers totally dropped the ball on this one. Those shoes are/were :-( to die…
Soooo many people wanted those shoes! It really is a shame. It looks like Report is indeed making a black version of the same shoe… still not the same as the original one we fell in love with!
The same thing happened to me with a simple peacoat that was going to be sold at Old Navy. It never went to production. I had to call soooo many people to get the scoop on why it was in a magazine and never online or in a store. They’re a chain so, something must’ve happened with the production process on that one.
Thanks for stopping by!
