If the Shoe Fits



Perhaps I've solved the problem of what to wear to my book launch parties? What do you think? More importantly, are they dogs or cats? Hint: the name of the shoe is Miao but I think they could be cats or dogs.

The shoes are designed by Kobi Levi, an Israeli designer, who has this to say about his work:
" In my artistic footwear design the shoe is my canvas. The trigger to create a new piece comes when an idea, a concept and/or an image comes to mind. The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is "alive" with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the "shoe-world", and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear. Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made in my studio. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way."

No word on price and most important whether or not they are comfortable! But they certainly make a statement!
