Well, these are certainly different from the type of shoes I normally show you, aren’t they?
Before you go getting too excited, though, there are three things to bear in mind:
1. They haven’t actually gone into production yet, as it seems there are some (unsurprising) problems with making them actually wearable. United Nude creative director Rem D. Koolhaas said, “We are still figuring out the production because the heels are so against gravity. It’s quite difficult to develop such shapes….” Yeah, no kidding?
2. When they DO figure out a way to make these boots happen, only four pairs will be produced. I’m guessing Lady Gaga probably already has her name down for one pair, but who’ll get the other three?
3. They’ll cost $900.
All of that seems to rule these out for most of us, but still: WOW. And once again: WOW.

What’s the point in making shoes like this. I really don’t understand these SHOE DESIGGGNERS!
WOW.
I’d love to see them on a foot though (when they’ve made that possible, that is): it might be a bit weird to have a heel coming out of the back of the shoe. Like you’re standing on some sort of tail. But who cares, these shoes should be on display rather than on a foot (against all principles), they’re pure art.
I think Lady Gaga will buy the 4 pairs. So she’ll be the only one wearing them, very exclusive!
Impossible and beautiful at the same time
Oh my. I won’t be sorry if these never make it into production.
