Defending Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova is taking steps to ensure a glittering performance at this year's tournament.

The young Russian has been wearing shoes with 24-karat gold specks on the sides.

Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer will wear shoes at Wimbledon that carry a strip of 24-karat gold. Each pair is worth $500. "It shines unbelievably," Sharapova said. "Hopefully it can distract my opponents a little bit."

Sharapova said she has 10 pairs of the gold-speckled shoes, which Nike said are worth $500 a pair.
