Kobi Levi pushes the boundaries in shoe architecture. The Israeli designer combines a concept or image and footwear to create unique one-of-kind shoe hybrids. The shoes that Kobi Levi devises are wearable sculptures that strike plenty of attention in the fashion world.
In Kobi Levi's latest series, he takes inspiration from various birds and incorporates them into his heel designs. His series features swans, ducks and even toucans. The footwear, like all his other pieces, is all handmade in his studio.
The avian-inspired footwear collection is made out of leather and didn't harm any ducks, swans or toucans in the design and construction process.
