Fantastical shoe creations by Masaya Kushino
In my weekly sweep of the web, found these stunning shoes by Japanese designer Masaya Kushino.
Pushing the boundaries of what footwear can be, Kushino has developed a thoroughly organic way to express art. I have never seen anything like these, and that, is to be applauded.

Check out this fantastic footwear ‘Artist’ Kobi Levi absolutely superb.
“The trigger to create a new piece comes when an idea, a concept and/or an image comes to mind. The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is “alive” with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the “shoe-world”, and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear. Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made in my studio. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way.”

Found this fantastic video by Hetty Rose Shoes, from Che Camille in Glasgow. Shows in very short process, the making of a handmade heeled sandal.
NB// A handmade court shoe with extensive design does in fact take around 80 hours to complete! (trust me)
