Katy Perry has designed her own line of footwear.

Katy Perry has collaborated with Hong Kong-based fashion company Global Brands Group to produce her very own line of shoes called 'Katy Perry Footwear', which will retail for USD$59-$299 and be available around Spring in 2017.

About her shoe-designs, Perry says: "It's very colorful, very funny, very tongue-in-cheek. I have a heel that is based on one of my trips to Cuba, and the heel is actually a cigar."
