Mr. Bailey recently showcased a look at his upcoming OZLUCENT sneaker model made alongside adidas Originals and now it introduces the OZMORPHIZ series. The designer takes his themes of scientific underwater concepts to another level as he turns his attention to the lifecycle of the Aurelia Aurita, which is also recognized as the moon jellyfish.
There are three main phases of the sea creature's lifestyle that are taken into consideration. The shoe's heel nods to the Polyp, which is a plant-like structure that is embedded into the ocean's floor. The midsection references the Ephyra, which breaks off the first part to metamorphosis into a jellyfish. Finally, the Medusa is the two-foot wide final form of the creature.
