TOKYO - JUNE 13: A pair of shoes worth $1,500,000 sits on display at a department store June 12, 2003 in Tokyo, Japan. The shoes, decorated with 690 rubies set in platinum totalling more than 100 carats, were designed by Hollywood shoe designer Stuart Weitzman to be worn by an actress at this year's Academy Awards, but were pulled out of respect for the war with Iraq.
