When I first heard about Icewalks, I thought, "Oh, big whoop. They are talking about shoe clips, which have been around since the stone age." But, alas, I was so wrong. These are so not your moma's shoe clips.

From a company press release:

Ice Walks is a new accessory craze that everyone is talking about. Produced by Daed Jewels, Ice Walk was designed to add personality to the ordinary shoe. Like cufflinks to a shirt, Ice Walk comes in many different variations of metals and precious stones to suit.

"Ice Walk is shoe jewelry for every type of person. From a well distinguished gentleman to a sneaker fanatic, Ice Walk is designed for any type of laced footwear," says Freeze, co-creator of Ice Walks.

Celebrities like The Game, Cool & Dre, Udonis Haslem and Fred Taylor have been seen sporting the distinguished trend. Prices vary depending on the stone layers and metal usage.

Okay, these may be a tad over the top. I mean, can you imagine your man hiking around in boots or tennis shoes like these?




Personally, I'm having a hard time making that leap, but of course, I don't have any hip hop guys in my life.
