The Wacky Pack Footwear Project has been designed by Ye Shen as an unorthodox take on shoe forms to broaden the conversation surrounding footwear aesthetics. The project consists of three styles including the O Snap, Bao Bao and Sticky Fingers, which are each characterized by their intricately ornate design. The Bao Bao features a shoe cover that can be worn open or closed, Sticky Fingers has a centralized zipper that runs down the entirety of the shoe and O Snap has a sock-style upper covered with individual, snap-accented pieces.
The Wacky Pack Footwear Project is designed in an entirely nude color scheme to give the various styles a distinctly contemporary appearance, which is offset with silver-toned hardware.
