Wearable Sculpture Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Kobi Levi Footwear is Totally Bananas

— September 19, 2010 — Fashion
Kobi Levi footwear designs are something to behold, bringing uniquely outrageous concepts to the avant-garde shoe niche. The freelance designer combines humorous and commonplace perspectives with the artistic aspect of creating a wearable shoe, and the results are the coolest kicks around.

The 2010 Kobi Levi footwear models include XXX -- a skin-colored shoe with a genitally-enhanced heel -- a feline-styled Miao, and an arched banana peel pump you'd actually want to slip on.

Implications - Kobi Levi is a man dedicated to developing unique and instantly recognizable shoes, as you can tell from this gallery. "Footwear should have its life with and without being on the feet," Kobi Levi says of kicks. "On the contrary to clothes that exist only when being worn."

More artful words have rarely been spoken about footwear. Bravo, Mr. Levi. Bravo.
