3D Skyscraper Heels

The 'Highrise Shoes' are Futuristic Heels with an Architectural Edge

If you think you can pull off Lady Gaga-esque footwear and do it with sophistication and style, then say hello to these futuristic heels with an architectural edge. Created by United Nude designer and co-founder Rem D. Koolhaas, this stunning pair of futuristic heels takes the lead in creativity and innovation in the footwear market. And if you are an architecture enthusiast, you'll love these distinct pumps even more because the designer trained as an architect -- which is pretty obvious from the skyscraper-looking heels.

Created for a design exhibition, the 3D printed polyamide -- a material used for sportswear -- heels dubbed the 'Highrise Shoes' define the look of technofuturism.

So why not combine your love for fashion and architecture and make a statement by stepping out in these charcoal gray heels?
