Valentino Jumps In To The Great Red-Soled Shoe Debate
In the long, painful saga that is Christian Louboutin‘s trademark infringement lawsuit against Yves Saint Laurent, much has been said of the fact that cobblers had been making red soles centuries before Loubs started featuring them in the 1990s.

YSL Fires Back At Christian Louboutin: You Didn’t Invent Red Soles!

Every little fashionista knows that the sight of a red sole means one thing and one thing only: Christian Louboutin made these shoes. The designer’s trademark red soles are instantly recognizable, and at this point they’re almost as much of a logo as they are a trademark. So it’s understandable that the brand has gotten its lawyers involved with the folks at Yves Saint Laurent, who made a red suede shoe with a red sole this spring.
