iPhone Mashup Shoe might be the ridiculous mashup of a shoe and an iphone case/holder, but we are good people that don’t judge. The 3D printed shoes include a strap and case along their heel where the phone goes. It might be a little trouble, but you get to pull off a Bond-style shoe phone technique. Yeah, Bond looked better but I’m not James Bond, and that sucker did not have 3D printed shoes and a smartphone. You hear that Mr Bond? I’m better than you.
Designer Kobi Levi has an excellent number of creative shoe designs under his belt, and he has continued to show off more stunning and creative designs. All that is pretty cool if you are a shoe lover, and we’ll take the liberty to assume the fresh designs also happen to be loved by those who won’t necessarily classify themselves as shoe lovers.
Apparently a fan of Nike Air Max, designer Joost Goudriaan created the shoes out of delicious, delicious chocolate. Details on the chocolate sneakers are impressive; you can even see the thread and sewing that would go with the shoes. Goudriaan has made two variants of the shoes, one from milk chocolate and the other from white chocolate with a pure chocolate sole. Perhaps it is the color, but the details are much better visible in the brown chocolate shoe. The sculptures are a series of ten unique variations, each at Air Max size 10.
Here we should be in the beauty of spring, but it’s still cold, and there’s the occasional snow. Ladies, and with a little enterprising effort, apparently gentlemen too could have a little dash at kicking the snow out using boots, because we’re so damn tired of shoveling snow anyway.

Here’s the geeky fashion you were looking for. The R2-D2 heels are absolutely kick ass and you could help yourself to some by looking over at the guide on Instructables.
They’re shoes, they’re chainmail, and supposedly they add in the idea of going barefoot as well because let’s face it, these shoes aren’t going to be any good as the word “shoe” goes. Gost Barefoots supposedly allow you to interact with the surroundings by means of the feet, without letting much of that shoe thing interfere. Well, they must be good because otherwise they wouldn’t be priced at €178 (~$232). Yeah, that must be it.
It doesn’t look much like a shoe, but apparently it works perfectly like one. Mojito Shoe is the work of designer Julian Hakes, who put his knowledge of architecture to work in imagining what a shoe would look like if it were designed using the same principles that apply to bridge building. The funky looking shoe is priced at $200.

We’ll just be thankful those are rubber soles, not real teeth. The golden teeth are a touch of genius in the Apex Predator Shoes designed by UK based studio Fantich and Young.
High heels are high fashion, but things tend to quickly tumble if they aren’t made exactly the way they were supposed to be. Revers Heels by Leanie van der Vyver look trippy, we might call them good if the woman wearing them didn’t appear to be so uncomfortable. But then don’t rely on our judgement, we’re pretty bad at handing out verdicts when it comes to fashion. Who knows, this might be the next big thing… well, maybe not.
Given that a large number of the population has tattoos, not extending the same privilege to shoes would be something like discrimination. Yep, that’s how the law on shoe tattoos works. We just like the idea.
