In the gallery are the new Visvim Christo sandals.
Available in beige, army green and black, they are quite the mash-up fashion shoes. Not only do they have a plaid upper, but there are straps holding the foot in every direction, almost like a straight jacket for your feet.
Whoever wears these Visvim Christo sandals will certainly be making a statement.
Implications - Unconventional shoe ideas such as this one are one-of-a-kind and designed for a unique consumer. The type of consumer that would be attracted to a pair of straitjacket shoes is one who takes an interest in thriller and horror flicks. This particular designer has incorporated the themes from those genres into these shoes.
