From a woman's perspective, almost every shoe equipped with a high heel and a one-of-a-kind design can be appreciated as a work of art, but these Kobi Levi innovations are off-the-charts cool and rank high in must-have masterpieces.
Levi specializes in footwear design, but his shoes are an extension of art where the canvas happen to come with chopstick heels or banana peel soles. After graduating from the Bezalel Academy of Art & Design, Levi decided to produce wearable sculptures to satisfy his desire to bring life to a pump before it's even worn. From avian-enhanced platforms to playground peep-toes, his infusion of everyday inspiration is unparalleled.
If a top prize were to be awarded for the most dynamic designs in the fashionable footwear world, these Kobi Levi innovations would be an absolute shoe-in for the win.
