# Popeye-Inspired Pumps (UPDATE) The Kobi Levi 'Olive Oyl' Heels are Comically Enhanced Kicks By Regan Canie | Published 2011-10-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kobi-levi-olive-oyl References: [squidoo](http://www.squidoo.com/kobi-levi) & [kobilevidesign.blogspot](http://kobilevidesign.blogspot.com/2011/01/olive-oyl.html) The master of shoe modification brings another cool creation to put your [pop culture-loving feet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yancy-street-stomper). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pop Culture-inspired Footwear:** Creating shoe designs that transform everyday things into unique, wearable art. - **Character-inspired Design:** Crafting footwear that incorporates recognizable features of fictional characters. - **Creative Shoe Modification:** Mastering the art of modifying shoes to create one-of-a-kind, eye-catching designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for fashion brands to collaborate with shoe designers to create unique, pop culture-inspired footwear collections. - **Entertainment Industry:** Potential partnership between shoe designers and entertainment companies to create shoe designs inspired by popular fictional characters. - **Art and Design Industry:** Creating a market for creative shoe modifications as unique art pieces that blend fashion and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon-Inspired Chunky Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-925.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cartoon Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-1.md) - [Retro Cartoon Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-cosmetics.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Casual Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patrick-star-superstar.md) - [Cartoon Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-x-spongebob-squarepants.md) - [Sailor Origin-Story Mangas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-lit-popeye.md) - [Vibrant Cartoon-Themed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heydude-x-spongebob.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md)
