Givenchy’s Very Fierce Spring / Summer 2010 Gladiator Sandals for Men

We’ve seen all styles, colors, and heel heights of women’s gladiator sandals that it’s almost passé, but get a load of these men’s gladiator sandals, fresh off the runway:

This is a picture of fashion editor and stylist Panos Yiapanis in Givenchy Spring/Summer 2010 gladiator sandals as taken by the now famous Tommy Ton of the Jak & Jil Blog. He’s out and ready for battle. These men’s gladiator sandals are seriously armed to the teeth.

Italian designer and head of womenswear Ricardo Tisci took the responsibility of overseeing Givenchy menswear just in May 2008. With this collection, he’s proven that he can work the same magic on menswear like he did for womenswear. Ricardo Tisci continues his winning ways by coming out with influential, visionary, ahead-of-its-times designs, like these uber fierce men’s gladiator sandals.

If studs, leather and metallics for women’s gladiators are out, then Givenchy declares it’s just the opposite for men.

Check out some of these cutting edge men’s gladiator sandals with studs, lace-ups, and other hardcore embellishments:

Alexander McQueen incorporates lace-ups and cutouts, two 2010 footwear trends in the Alexander McQueen 237885WACC0. $494.00.

These gladiator-inspired thong sandals feature studs on the straps and a contoured footbed. These are the DSQUARED2 SA300971, on sale at $229.78.

Mark Nason’s rock and roll influences are clear on these Mark Nason Krakens. Check out those huge burnished leather crosses on the straps. Now $117.49.

The faded and distressed leather on these Frye Ludlow H Band make them look vintage, but those thick buckles and stud say another thing. Now only $103.00.

A slide version of the previous sandals, the extra buckles, the crisscrossed straps, and the silver and black combination actually make these Frye Men’s Ludlow Slides look more tough than casual. Now 15 percent off.

As a guy, do you think you can rock these fierce gladiator sandals? Pair them with shorts or pants in similar colors to get the full gladiator effect.
