 Footwear By Ndeur Mattieau Missiaen, 25, is the first artist to offer graffitist work for the new Adidas sneaker collection. Under his own label, Ndeur, however, he designs more than just casual shoes. Women won’t feel bored with their shoe selection and won’t have to worry about colour-coordinating their footwear—they come in such an array of colours that they can be matched with just about anything. “The line ranges from soaring pumps to old-school high-tops and are fashioned using a canvas of vintage leather footwear, on which he doodles street-art-inspired scenes with oil-based paints.” Missiaen has his entire brand available on MySpace under the name Ndeurr. What an intelligent and creative way to showcase artistic talent.
 And it seems we're not alone in this opinion. In the short time since his introduction into streetwear boutique The Rage (13 Kensignton Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada) Missaien has been raved about in several publications and included in Vans Shoe show in Toronto.
To add to the mystique of owning your own wearable piece of shoe-art, all of Missiaen's works are one-of-a-kind. On The Rage's Etsy site, you enter your feet measurements and style requests for hand-tailored effect. They're also reasonably priced - from $120 - $180 – so the savvy shoe-ophiles among us will have no trouble chalking this one up to a necessary cultural investment. By L.Harper
