These animal footprint shoes by Maskull Lasserre look like normal kicks but with a twist; the soles are manufactured into animal paws that leave life-like prints.
One of the shoe's footprints is that of a bear and serves as a very realistic portrayal, which if imprinted in mud or soft terrain, could cause quite a stir! Canadian artist Maskull Lasserre also created platform shoes with hoofs. It'd be quite the laugh to see these shoes make imprints as the Humane Society goes on a city-wide safari hunt.
Part of Maskull's childhood was spent in South Africa, which explains the inspiration to these humorous shoes . Maskull's work encourages elements like humor that brings about the unexpected and strangeness in everyday life.
