Conceived by Chinese shoe company AoKang as a larger-than-life promotional tool for a new footwear line, the loafer is actually an electric two-seater, reports Auto Motto.

If teenagers heading out for a night of joyriding call “shotgun” for a conventional car, what would they say here: “Yo, man, I got toe”?

Don’t be distracted by a frame wrapped in 200 feet of bull leather, this lace up has serious street cred. The electric motor vehicle can reach a top speed of 18 mph; and a single charge has a range of 186 miles.

AoKang plans to make 40 of these car-kicks and sell them for $6,500.
