# Gummy Stilettos Originally Wicked Shoe Designs by Kobi Levi By Kamal Musharbash | Published 2010-10-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kobi-levi References: [amusingplanet](http://www.amusingplanet.com/2010/09/classy-shoe-designs-by-kobi-levy.html) & [kobilevidesign.blogspot](http://www.kobilevidesign.blogspot.com/) Israel-based shoe designer Kobi Levi creatively made these awesome artistic shoes -- although they seem to be more targeted toward becoming shelf art, then actually worn on a daily basis. Beautifully imagined and masterfully accomplished, Levi's shoe designs generate a great following, from Tel Aviv to Tokyo. Some are odd, some are humorous; however, you must admit the level of creativity is out of this world. Kobi Levi has fantastic vision, which includes everything from gummy heels to doggy shoes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Footwear Designs:** Shoe brands should invest in developing artistic footwear designs to cater to a niche market. - **Unconventional Materials:** Shoe designers can learn from the use of unconventional materials like gummy in order to explore new possibilities. - **Humor in Design:** Shoe designers can add an element of humor in their designs to make them more unique and appealing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore niche markets by providing artistic and unconventional shoe designs, inspired by Kobi Levi’s gummy stilettos. - **Art:** The art industry can collaborate with shoe designers to create artworks that are functional as well as visually stunning. - **Fashion:** Fashion designers can draw inspiration from Kobi Levi’s creative and humorous shoe designs and incorporate similar elements in their clothing collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Collaborative Artful Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metropole-seoul-derby.md) - [Chic Stiletto-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscuiteers-and-manolo-blahnik.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Discarded Shoe-Created Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wu-series.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Chunky Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-925.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cartoon Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-1.md)
