Illuminated Heels

These light-up three inch heels come from the mind of Nicholas Kirkwood, made for design team Rodarte.  They were shown off at this year’s NY Fashion Week.  Whenever tech is embedded into fashion, that’s always a good thing, no?  Addtional shots in the gallery below, and a video of the heels in action after the break.

The mojito shoe looks uncomfortable by design

The mojito shoe is designed by London architect Julian Hakes. 

Hakes: “The material choice is simple: The shoe is a laminate with Carbon fibre for the core which gives the shoe its spring and strength, leather on the foot side and rubber on the walking wearing side. 3 materials, each doing a specific job.”

See more images of this fashionably unique yet somewhat disturbingly uncomfortable shoe in the gallery below.
