Any fashionista looking to add some unique and artistic elements into their shoe collection is in luck, because these abstract footwear designs are here to offer up some visually flamboyant designs to wear on your feet.
While abstract techniques are often features found in paintings, artworks and even pieces of architecture, fashion retailers are beginning to utilize these aspects in their designs to create a very futuristic appeal. Even so shoes are meant to be practical and comfortable to wear, 21st century designers are opting for more fashion-forward features and artistic designs, which often means comfort gets left behind.
From furniture-inspired footwear to wearable sculpture shoes, these abstract footwear designs will definitely make any fashionista feel like they're wearing a piece of art on their feet.
