Pleaser shoes in the movie Hustlers!

Not only the actresses but also the Pleaser shoes stole the spotlight in Hustlers!
In the movie, ageing stripper Ramona (Jennifer Lopez) takes under her wing a younger dancer, Destiny (Constance Wu), helping her earn good money in a New York strip club. When the financial crisis hits, the two women turn to riskier methods — involving sedatives and stolen credit cards.

A true story full of female power

Inspired by real events, Hustlers feels like a female version of The Wolf of Wall Street. Instead of men in suits, we see strippers in glittering outfits and on high Pleaser heels.
Destiny’s transformation from shy newcomer to confident hustler is striking — and those iconic heels play a major role, representing empowerment and allure.

Banned in the Philippines

The film premiered on September 7, 2019, at the Toronto International Film Festival and became an instant hit. Interestingly, it was banned in the Philippines for its “inappropriate content”.
