Walk in Space

I’m a forward thinking kinda gal.  I well and truly anticipate my landing on the moon during my life time.  It will happen and when it does, I’d very much like to wear Liam Fahy’s design that won him the Fashion Fringe Shoe competition, bagging him a paid internship with Rupert Sanderson.  The white shiny plastic/patent and the way it is cut up into pieces and overlaps and also the non-clompy wedge makes it the ideal shoe to take my first moon steps.  Yes, I am eliminating any rules of physics in this space-shoe equation.  Me thinks my chances of walking in the shoes as opposed to the moon are slightly bigger so I’ll also happily take pairing the shoes with a pair of skinny ruched black satin trousers, a white boiled wool big shouldered cape top and some Martin Margiela visor sunglasses as a sensible alternative.

  1. I’m sure that I would be the only person in my town to own a pair of these. I would wear these with white jeans.

  2. yep, look out chewie-baca!

    these are lovely. i know a while back someone somewhere on this planet tried making these exo skeleton type sneakers. it didn’t bode well. maybe in this new century we’re ready.

  3. True! It reminds me so much of Star Wars, but I love the concept. It looks oddly comfortable, but that’s just me.

  4. I see Storm Troopers in drag, not that that isn’t a good thing…
    Or, yeah, GITS – the Major could totally pull off this look.

  5. oh. so they remind everyone of storm troopers. haha guess i’m not orginial there. and i also agree with everyone that the storm troopers association isn’t a bad thing. they’re geek chic at it’s most original.

  6. I’m so happy for him…he’s an amazing talent. I saw this boot in sketch form months ago and I’m blow away at how brilliant he’s executed it.

  7. So cooool! The shoe here is like a Starwars! I never imagined that those props could be in real world. Darn, in public too. I got to grab this!

  8. What remarkable post! i know a while back someone somewhere on this planet tried making these exo skeleton type sneakers. it didn’t bode well. maybe in this new century we’re ready.

  9. Wow! Where can I buy those?! My boyfriend would go nuts if I showed up to a date wearing shoes like that!
