United Nude and the famous Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen have teamed up again for Spring 2012, this time producing a black leather bootie with an extreme curved heel.
But, according to WWD, they’re not ready yet! United Nude creative director Rem D. Koolhaas says, “We are still figuring out the production because the heels are so against gravity. It’s quite difficult to develop such shapes, but making things that seem impossible is a great challenge for us.” The heels will retail for $900. I’m a sucker for the avant-garde and emphatically impractical, so I’m definitely into these. Would you wear them?
You didn't posted a picture of the soes... oh well I saw it and actually like the heels. they look like they come with a weight limit however. but once you can wear them AND walk in them…and have 900 to spend on them…then why not get them
ReplyDeleteIf those shoes were wearable and affordable, I’d definitely rock them, both of which are currently not the case for me as of yet.
ReplyDeletethe shoes look like an hazard of falling unless you are a G like Lady Gaga. I like them and I have hopes that the shoe will be put into production.
ReplyDeleteWe are not talking about the same shoe here! Copy and paste and see for yourself:
