[cincopa AMCAOqq3vve7]Those indelibly on the hunt for a fierce footwear statement need look no further than the Ryan Haber Collection’s “DANGEROUS” shoe. Walk on the wild side with this python-printed leather bootie, priced at $933, which strikes just the right chord with its sleek and sexy serpentine silhouette.

Intricate cut outs in this 3/4 ankle bootie show just the right amount of skin amid contrasting python and metallic leather. Stud work on the back and the zipper on the medial of the shoe ups the cool quotient of these killer kicks. A four and a half inch heel completes the sultry look, assuring optimum visual appeal for the foot and leg.

“Everyone needs one great animal-print in their closet, and this is it!,” asserts Haber.  “DANGEROUS can perfectly transition from the office with a great suit to a night on the town in a little black dress.”

DANGEROUS debuted as part of Haber’s premier “ALTER EGO” line featuring 18 different styles in a total of 46 colorways.  Equally scintillating styles with menacing monikers like MONSTER, MISTRESS and FREAK have the fashion industry a-buzz. And with good reason, as Haber’s distinctive design aesthetic leaves hard core shoe savants longing for more.

ALTER EGO is the newest women’s line from the Ryan Haber Collection, known for innovative, technically advanced footwear that exudes luxury. The designer’s exquisite taste in Italian leathers, eye for detail, and penchant for hand construction is apparent, as is Haber’s architectural aptitude as he lovingly sculpts each shoe’s heel structure.

Haber has always had “thing” architecture, fashion and women, also believing that you can tell a lot about a woman by the shoes on her feet. His passions converged while studying interior design at The Cleveland Institute of Art, where he would spend off hours sketching shoes and adding his architectural sensibility to the designs. This attraction to shoe design led him to gain hands-on experience through internships at BCBG Max Azria in Los Angeles and Steve Madden in New York City.  Today Haber is a formidable fashion footwear force in his own right.

This season, step out in this DANGEROUS statement shoe and be prepared to tap in to that side of your personality hell-bent on excitement!

DANGEROUS and other styles in Haber’s ALTER EGO line will be available in high end boutiques and select department stores nationwide in the first quarter of 2012 as part of Haber’s SS’12 collection.
