Ridiculously Loud, Necessary Footwear

Let us take a moment on this hot-as-hell Monday to celebrate the beauty of insane shoes straight from the warped minds of painters and graphic designers.

First, from my wishlist:

String Republic's deliciously acidic slip-ons and espadrilles.

And we can't forget my last purchace:

Custom painted Species by the Thousands one-of-a-kind sneaks and limited-edition jewelry. CUSTOM MADE! Pictures do them no justice. This pair has a Jabberwocky, mine a romancing couple on the right foot and a sloth on my left.
