Melissa Plastic Dreams has launched its latest collaboration with Italian architect Gaetano Pesce. In partnership with one of the foremost names in architecture and international design, this shoe, at first glance, is a “light-hearted ankle boot with molded plastic circles connecting at the edges.” Yet, scissors are all that is needed to individually tailor any pair, which can be changed to anything from a pair of slip-ons to ballerina flats, depending on the wearer’s taste and creativity.
The concept is totally brilliant – a green/vegan company, creativity and individuality encouraged by the wearer. We can see certain people making these shoes somehow look attractive… but our immediate instinct are – they are totally hideous. We want to like them, we really do, but they may just be the ugliest shoes ever.
