7 Pairs Of Faux-Snakeskin Shoes To Shop

You've probably seen glimpses of these python Converse sneakers as you've scrolled through Instagram. Everyone, from Kylie Jenner to Beyonce, has been wearing them, making me think that these expensive kicks might be the newest celebrity trend. But what makes these sneakers so special?

If these python sneakers look essentially the same as your Chuck Taylors, only glam, that's because they are Chuck Taylors, just reconstructed. According to Glamour, the company that makes them is called "Luxe Chucks" and they take regular pairs of Converse, take them apart, and then replace the canvas with python skin. So basically, everything remains the same, from the silhouette to the soles, but they have a very luxe feel, which is why they've become such a hit with celebs.

Beyonce wore a pair of these python sneakers with a pair of rolled jeans and a white t-shirt. Jenner paired hers with a matching snake skin bikini while on vacation and then with a chambray shirt and denim shorts. Kourtney Kardashian paired hers with a white tank top and cut offs. The options are really endless. The python converses add a luxury vibe to anything you wear, so it makes sense that they are often paired with casual basics, but I bet they would look just as good dressed up for a night out.

You can even have a custom pair of these Luxe Chucks made for yourself. All you have to do is send them an email. Unfortunately, these Chucks are a little more expensive than the pair you probably have sitting in your closet, costing about $1,000 or more depending on the style you get. But you can still enjoy these photos of celebs wearing them.

Officially in love with the trend? You can get some fake python shoes for way less, ensuring that 2016 will be a super stylish year for you.
