Creative agency The Or created The Fantastic Plastic Foot Shoes, which make the tip-toed foot of a fashion doll wearable as a pair of truly one-of-a-kind shoes. These exclusive shoes with a clear heel are currently up for bidding.
An image of Barbie's foot leaving her shoe opened the trailer for the upcoming Barbie Movie, and fans went wild for the now-iconic shot. Although The Or describes The Fantastic Plastic Foot Shoes as "a one-off, unaffiliated to any particular popular fashion doll," the unconventional footwear style is a special piece that one lucky Barbie fan will get to adore. The winning bidder will get to choose the size and skin tone of the shoes, and all profits from the auction will go directly to supporting the education and empowerment of girls around the world.
