Canadian-born British shoe designer Patrick Cox collaborates with GEOX to create a flashier-than-usual women’s collection. The line consists of blatantly accented heels suited for some fancy footwork.
The Peonia is the wedged sandal that has a plaque-like metal adornment on both sides of its heel. The effect is definitely eye-catching—unusual and luminous. Other heels are embellished with round silver studs or are simply color blocked. Either way, the entire collection flaunts detailed designs.
The collection emphasizes its impressive balance between edge and comfort. The Ziggy is a platform-heeled sneaker with a metallic finish. The high-heeled sneaker is a recently booming trend and GEOX strives to let ladies live active lifestyles while making a fashion statement.
