Click above for high-res gallery of the Opel Agila City Heels
April foolery a few days late? Unfortunately, no... the shoes you see above and in the gallery below are real. Opel has gone and commissioned a one-off pair of Opel Agila City Heels by Luca Stappers. Unveiled on April 2 at trendy shoe boutique Shoebaloo in Amsterdam, the shoes were delivered by a certain Prince Charming who rode, not in an Opel Agila, but on a white horse. We swear, we're not making this stuff up, though we honestly wish they were left in the back of someone's mind before ever hitting the drawing board. Whatever the case, the shoes do exist, so perhaps the lucky owner could cut her losses by lopping off the horrible fake-grille and headlights for some nice open-toed action. Or they could just throw 'em out. Heck, they aren't even white!

Unbelievably stupid!
But why not? :)
Maybe makes sense on a motor show girl.

I'd like to see some red Ferrari Enzo pumps. It'd be a cool gift...

I'm no 3-D expert, but doesn't the "face" seem to be a little...symmetrically misplaced?
Btw, do the shoes have bumpers installed in the stock version, or would I be required to opt for a higher spec level? What about fog lights? You never know what a morning mist might conceal...

If the front gets kicked, will the wearer's airbags deploy?

Will the Suzuki Splash twin become a pair of flippers?
