A new addition to our growing adam n eve shoe shop is the boogaloo shoe. A sexy, sophisticated, strappy sandal in a variety of mouth watering colours! These are now available in the new shoe shop section which is reached via the rear wall of the store.
I introduce handmade a shoes shop “Sonomitsu” in Tokyo.
They’d measure your size and tailor a pair of just-fit shoes for you in its workshop-store space. They have a branch in Fukuoka.
Last several years, those craft made products have been booming in Japan. Partly due to the poor quality of the products produced in those emerging countries such as China, I wonder if this sort of order-made brand will be more exciting in the coming years.
Check these out: Craziest Shoes From Around The World. While they’re all just bizarre, I’d pick these as the weirdest:
They’re just wrong on so many levels…
I never understood Dorothy.
You wake up some days and everything in the photocopy world is black and white. Work, commute, family, friends and all your dour surroundings. Groundhogs give you knowing nods, again, as you stand another day up at the chopping block and take a careless swipe at it.
Then, one morning, much to your surprise, the room is tossed and everything has changed. The window looks out on some strange sky that screams conspiratorially that you’re definitely not in Kansas anymore. Colours you forgot existed flit like cheap fireworks across your eye and the world pinwheels in yellow, emerald and ruby.
Everything’s adventure, even with a version of the same familiar faces you skip and dance a now familiar path and the reward is nothing less than your secret heart’s desire. Which leads you to ask, quite understandably, “Why would Dorothy ever take her heels 3 times and click herself back home?”
These cardboard Air Jordans are made from, you guessed it, cardboard. What more is there to say?
These felt slippers are made to keep your feet nice and toasty, and they do it very well. I have a had a pair of these slippers for a few years now (a gift from my brother’s overseas travels) and can attest to how simple and comfortable they are. They will make your feet sweat on a cold January morning.
Giraffe high heeled shoes might be the only way to stroll around the zoo with class. Definitely a unique design in the world of shoes, I can truly say I have never seen high-heeled shoes with two legs before.
Shoes can be as simple or as complex as a designer’s imagination. Here are 10 unique ways to cover your feet that stand out from the rest.
These Fivefingers are a great way to wear shoes but still have bare feet. Made to wrap around each one of your little piggies, the shoes are made to fit over your feet like a pair of gloves.
Going back to school means a lot of people buying a whole lot of new things. Teachers, students, parents; we are all consumers. With so many designs keeping the environment in mind during planning and manufacture, it would be nice to see a few students sporting green with their back to school gear. Here are a few products to get you started.
Newton running shoes are more than just green. The shoes laces, webbing, insole top and outer sole rubber are made of recycled materials. And there is more; the package is made of the same post-consumer paper waste as egg cartons. And to get greener than green, the shoe is stuffed with a pair of new socks and a reusable bag to avoid useless tissue paper that would normally get tossed after opening.
It’s time to remove the dust from the money piling in your bank account and tie some art work to your feet. Pinch yourself as this is possible. The pricey artistic cutting-edge street wear demands a whooping sum of $27,945.
Crafted by Mai Lamore, don’t degrade them by tagging them as mere shoes as they are no less than a work of art. The 18 karat gold heels are quite sensuous and ufffff when it is complemented with the hand dyed silk petals. Well, considering the price tag and beauty attached to it, I would love to buy this pair and won’t dare to carry it. It would be my luxurious installed masterpiece. If this precious gold heel gets success in winning your heart then try saving some bucks right away. Of course, it is far cheaper than the world’s most expensive sandals.
Shoes are one of my obsessions. I love to collect a variety of designer shoes. The sandals which look charming and chic really catch my attention. You won’t believe but I often dream about them. Since summers are approaching I am on a look-out for the innovative
collections by various fashion designers. Recently, I came across the designer collection of shoes by Prada. I love the collection because as usual, the designs of the shoes are exclusive. They look extremely pretty and are obviously trendy.
These Corallo Oro sandals look absolutely gorgeous. They are golden in color. This color denotes royalty. They are royal in the true sense. Yes, you can not even think of wearing them in these chilly winters but they will equal the jewels that you wear in the summer and spring season. Just imagine how beautiful your feet will look on a sunny day when your feet are decorated with such royal accessories. The leafy details on the sandals are striking. The whole arrangement of these strings is simply ultimate. I am looking forward to possess these stunning sandals as flats are in fashion these days and it will be a major blunder if I miss this one out. What do you think about the Summer 2008 collection by Prada? Keep me posted.
Yah, what you have seen above is real. Pinch yourself. The most interesting point in this 5 1/2 inches creation designed by Briton Antonio Berardi is that they lack heels but still gives you the feel of maintaining a catty walk. They almost go with any form of attire since they are available in gold or silver snakeskin. But a smart dudette would carry it these heels with a crash helmet and an instruction manual.
Ready to be yours at a bargain price of £1,800, the wearer can easily manage to totter around with all her weight evenhanded on a coagulated platform sole. Obviously, fashionistas would be rushing to buy at least one pair. Celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman have picked up black patent version valued at £1,100 plus. To my non-surprise, Victoria Beckham tagged a snakeskin pair to her name. If the piece-of-news has managed to convince you then you can also buy one as they will be available for sale in Browns stores, London. But folks, you have to make a pre-order for this at least five-weeks ago.
The fashion facet of EliteChoice is pro-active in unveiling the latest designs and patterns available in accessories and foot wears. Undeniably the designer collection is not easily spotted and hence we here keep our eyes and ears open to get the insight of the ongoing parties, hence scanning the fashion divas from head to toe. If you can recall, four-months back, I featured here £1,800 heel-less high heels by Briton Antonio Berardi (witnessed the eyelids of over 20k readers on a single day) and today we are here to feature another competitive sample of sandals.
Pictured above is a $2 million sandal from Stuart Weitzman that was sported at the Le Vian party in Las Vegas. The silver leather designer heels flaunt 185 carats of tanzanite and 28 carats of diamonds.
The frontage strip sports a slim belt of diamonds with fitted profound gemstones to arc around the ankle with a 16 carat pear-shaped tanzanite plunge bordered by diamonds that swings over the face of the foot. The stones on the sandals seem to be mounted unswervingly onto the leather and hardly seem to be detachable.
Adidas shoes may have translated to sports, but that was in the past and before news of their diamond collection hit the news waves. Now it is all about bling bling bling!
Carrying the traditional three line marked black and white style of Adidas shoes, Adidas will launch the Diamond Pack on the 31st of January next year to commemorate their 60th year anniversary. The shoes will carry the Adidas three-leaf logo up front and centre, studded with brilliantly shining diamonds. The shoes will be more than just extremely exclusive; Taiwan would be selling only 20 pairs of them at the Superstar80’sDiamond.
There is something special about the shoes that Christian Louboutin designs and creates. We will not be surprised that one day the world discovers that tiny elves descended from the skies to give that kiss of magic that makes women fall deep in love with all his collections. OK, let’s be fair to the man whose creativity and impeccable fashion sense has the fairer sex swooning all over across the world.
Take the famous maryjanes for instance. Louboutin has revamped the oh-so-loved pair giving them a whole new lease at life altogether. Delicate looking ruffles look very sexy with the skinny heels. They come in three colors — blush, red and dark brown. Each one is to die for!
Some clever geniuses felt your regular shoes just didn't have enough integrated CD-ROMs, speakers, tweeters, and a volume control knobs, so they put this little concept together. Forget the fact that there's no way a CD will read in a moving shoe, but look at it. I mean really, look at it. It's like how they predicted the shoe of the future would look like in the 80's.
Vibram's line of FiveFingers shoes (shouldn't that be FiveToes shoes?) are, um, unique. As an owner of Nike Air Rifts (that just have the big toe separated), I find these oddly appealing, yet disgustingly disgusting looking. I just hope none of my winter gloves catch sight of these things, because they'll fight them for being copycats. They sell for between $70-$100 and are allegedly great for all sorts of make believe sports like ChiRunning, Pose Method Running, and Bouldering. And, if they're anything like my barefoot style running shoes, they're even greater at smelling like ass.
Heelys, a company best known for making those f'ing roller shoes that idiot children wear in Wal-Mart, is releasing another stupid product. The Gamer collection features footwear with soles made to resemble video game controllers. And no, they don't freaking work. Making them some of the stupidest shoes ever. Now I'm not saying that the guy who came up with this idea should be taken out and shot, I'm just saying he should be killed in some fashion. I don't care how.
Well apparently it's "Incredibly Stupid Ways To Get Around" day here at Geekologie, and what better to celebrate than to show off these fancy iShoes (yes, they actually named them f'ing iShoes). They're basically electric roller-skates. Okay, it's actually one electric roller-skate (with brake) and one un-electric roller-skate (without break). Which seems like an interesting design. They can go 15 MPH and are one size fits most (men's 8-12, women's 7-10). They can go about 7 miles on a charge and weight 16 lbs for the two (which is probably a 14 lb right skate and 2 lb left skate). As if all this awesomeness wasn't enough for you to rush out and get some, they also make you look like the stupidest ass-clown to ever hit the streets. I actually wanted to get a pair, but my penis said if I did we could forget about ever making love to a woman. And I just can't take any chances.
Video proof of how cool you look with them after the jump.
John Maeda, of MIT Media Lab fame got together with Reebok (not sexually) to develop a new shoe. John is well known (by some) for his math and design skills, and the resulting shoe, the Timetanium, is the resulting hybrid of these two fields. Only 100 pairs are being made, and they'll be available through the Reebok Custom website on November 13th. They feature some unique styling and John's handwritten notes printed on the interior. No word on price, because when I tried to look it up my computer exploded, meaning they'll be expensive. I just love that name, the Timetanium. Such a clever combination of time and titanium. Kind of like the code-name of my nudey mag stash, the Empornium. See what I did there? I combined the word emporium with porn to make a clever name. The wife will never catch on. "Don't mind me dear, just running down to the empornium for a little five finger discount. *snicker, snicker*"
The Eco Shoes Dryer, from Life In Detail, is a product designed to dry your shoes out if they get wet or if you're gross and your feet sweat (like mine). It’s packed with silica gel (do not eat contents of packet) that absorb moisture. After the gel is saturated you plug it in to remove all the water from the gel so it's ready to go again. A single unit will set you back about $27. I definitely need one, because I have what I like to call "ass-feet". It's basically a condition where your feet smell like complete ass. When I was in college if I didn't like the person sitting in the desk in front of me I'd wear my nasty shoes and slide my feet under their seat. They would be miserable for the rest of the class. And not only that, but everyone around always thought they’d shit their pants.
This is a Nike with a Nintendo Entertainment System built it. Allegedly it works. And allegedly I want it really, really badly. I assume the system's output is on the opposite side, where it hooks up to your other shoe, which has a little LCD built in. Freaking sweet! Just imagine what they could fit into a shoe if they can put a Nintendo in there! Like, oh I don't know, a foot.
Here at Geekologie we've seen all kinds of different vending machines. We've seen ones that dispense soccer balls, pizzas, people, pot, other drugs, and even small children. Well now we're adding shoes to that list. As someone who has woken up shoeless and in a ditch on the bad side of town several times, so I can attest to the brilliance of footwear vending machines. This particular dispensary is on London's Carnaby Street and spits out Onitsuka Tigers. The machine holds 24 pairs in 6 different sizes (probably no 14's) and each costs an undisclosed number of coconuts. As you can see from the picture, the machine really attracts the chicks, and I'd totally do them all.
UPDATE: Okay, turns out that third chick is actually a dude. I retract my previous statement. I would now only do chicks 1, 2, and 4, despite dude's silky soft hair, capris, and fetching mustachio.
Remember the reporter that bared his sole to President Bush during a news conference? Well now Muntadhir al-Zaidi's famous footwear is immortalized at an orphanage in Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit, in the form of a giant copper shoe.
Assisted by children at the home, sculptor Laith al-Amiri erected a brown replica of one of the shoes hurled at Bush and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki by journalist Muntadhir al-Zaidi during a press conference in Baghdad.Well now I want a big metal shoe. *removes flip-flop and throws at laptop* Take that, interweb godz! Haha, I know it was a sandal, but you think you could make my statue a boot? I want to drink out of it!
The shoe monument, made of fiberglass and coated with copper, consists of the shoe and a concrete base. The entire monument is 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) high. The shoe is 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) long and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide.
