These shoes were designed with hand-painted leather and were recently showcased at Neon's winter fashion show.
"The Brazilian label's co-designer Dudu Bertholini has been collecting leftover painted cow skin—some of them rare—from his trips abroad to New York and throughout his home country, at last finding the best use for them," Coolhunting says.
These are supposed to be unisex shoes. I'd love to see a dude clad in black tux wearing the lilac and blue flowery shoes.
Implications - Personally, I would never do that and I wouldn't let anyone travelling with me do it, but it's something that sounds so ridiculous I know I would warm up to it.
