The Kobi Levi 'Olive Oyl' Heels are Comically Enhanced Kicks

— October 26, 2011 — Art & Design
The master of shoe modification brings another cool creation to put your pop culture-loving feet into with the Kobi Levi 'Olive Oyl' design inspired by Popeye's lanky, white-collared leading woman.

This is a welcome addition to the world of Levi kicks, each of which takes everyday things and transforms them into kitten-heeled or platform masterpieces. The Olive Oyl shoe features a red base like the iconic character's dress with a white scalloped embellishment and a thick elasticated pony tail to comprise the heel. Levi has an incredible flair at taking key recognizable features to craft his rare footwear resemblances.

If attracting a man that loves spinach, smoking a pipe and flexing some serious bicep beef doesn't sound ideal, at least the Kobi Levi 'Olive Oyl' heels will make you feel a little like the stylish, sailor-loving lady.
