Majari said the USD 17 million price for the Passion Diamond Shoes was non-negotiable and there will be no sales at the event. “There will be only one pair of The Passion Diamond Shoes in the world. We had to prototype many shoes in Italy in order to find the perfect shape, perfect heel, the perfect colour for it. Even inside, the logos of both companies are made out gold, which is very thin so it will be very comfortable for walking,” the co-founder said.
