Native Shoes has teamed up with photographer Tim Barber as a part of the company’s film productions. The former Vice Magazine photo editor has been praised for his establishment of tinyvices.com, a site that allows artists to submit their work independently.
The interest that Native Shoes has taken up in Barber resonates with a near pop cultural obsession with the Canadian expert. His original mode of thinking is apparent in the short 53-second clip as he spoke of his love of bridges. Described here as "a bottleneck, a funnel for people," Barber gets at design abstractions that few would be able to conceive of, let alone express in a quick voice-over.
Operating under the slogan ‘Step Out of Your World and Into Some Else’s Shoes," Native Shoes aims to offer varying takes on life to the public through its international interviews with dancers, tattoo artists and an array of individuals who remain engaged in creative pursuits.
