The Finsk Project 2 Shoes Send You to Ridiculous Heights

— March 27, 2010 — Fashion
Ladies, gentlemen, and brave souls alike, Julia Lundsten has done it again with her Finsk Project 2 shoes. Last year Trend Hunter Editor Shelby Walsh wrote about Project 1, but those sculpted heels have nothing on these ones.

First of all, the Finsk Project 2 shoes have no heels, a theme we've seen a lot lately. It's the extreme sport platforms, however, that are boggling my mind. In case you're wondering how you're supposed to walk in them, designer Julia Lundsten has created a less insane version for her AW10 collection.
