Truly finding inspiration amongst his surroundings, designer Kobi Levi has created footwear with humor and an artistic twist. The Jerusalem-based designer graduated from the Academy of Art and Design in Bezalel, and views shoes as a blank canvas to create original art for your feet. His creations range from the absurd and suggestive to the weird and grotesque — pumps made to look like puppies, where the heal resembles the droopy ears of a mutt. Some made to look like furniture, when not on your feet look as if they belong in a Barbie dream house living room. Others are slingshots, or provocatively bent over female bodies. A doggystyle shoe? Levi has crossed over from simple footwear designer to artist, creating women’s footwear that can honestly be said has not been seen, even in the over-saturated fashion market. He even managed to make a shoe that emulates gum stuck to your heel. If you can make that look stylish, then you can do just about anything.
