Ce Ce first came across these shoes during a recent trip to Hong Kong and we just had to learn more! Cantopop music star Wyman Wong teamed up with Pedder Red to release a four design shoe collection inspired by his favorite designers: Oscar de la Renta, Martin Margiela, Christophe Decarnin and Yves Saint Laurent.
