Ashiato Sandals by Kiko+
The Ashiato sandals look like ordinary Japanese ge-ta (thetraditional wooden footgear) from the top, but leave behind animal footprints in their wake. The pawprint designs are carved in relief on the bottom of the sole. Made by Kiko+, an interior design firm that turned its creative minds towards kids’ toys, the clever sandals can come in 5 different animal prints: cat, gecko, owl, monkey, and zaurus (which seems to be a dino-shaped foot). Ashiato Sandals come in 5 different styles/colors: Cat (pink), Gecko (blue), Owl (yellow), Monkey (orange) and Zaurus (green).

Up Shoes & Temporary Night Clutch by What’s More Alive Than You
Claudia Civilleri’s Up Shoes are based on an initial concept of shoes molded in polyurethane. It was then decided that better stability and ergonomics were the goal, so a different process was adopted. Using an embroidery machine from the seventies that was found in a basement, Civilleri sewed strips of two-tone leather to create channels for stuffing one of the colours in order to create bulges. This was done to imitate the initial swelling obtained by using the plastic materials.

Camper Shoes by Jame Hayon
World-renowned designer, artist, illustrator and ceramicist Jame Hayon is now stepping out with all the right colours into the world of shoes.
“I wanted to find a form that stylized the foot, like the tap dancing shoes. I have always liked the character of dance shoes because they remind me of a music-hall. I wanted to make a simple shoe but one that had character, in solid colours but that were special enough to give identity to a way of dressing. If for me, and also for many others, glasses are important in creating the personality of a person, I think that shoes should be so too”.
Nike + iPod
Apple has teamed up with Nike to create your personal supercharged workout assistant. Put the remote sensor in your shoe and you’re ready to run. The iPod then communicates with the receiver, collecting run data with every step. After the workout, you can connect your iPod to your computer and send data to nikeplus.com, where you can track every step of the way. Wow.
Apple Logos Shoes
I’m not a huge sneakers addict, but I have to admit the Apple Logo Shoes make me drool. These awesome shoes were distributed by the company to their employees in the mid 90′s. No need to say that these are the ultimate collector sneakers. They should make a Microsoft version to step in dog poo.
