Shoe Design By Kobi Levy

This is unusual shoe design by Kobi Levy. Although just designs (mostly art pieces), you can see how these could inspire other deisgners. Kobi Levi graduated from Bezalel academy Art & Design, Jerusalem, in the jewelry and accessories design department. He now specializes in footwear design and development/making. He works as a freelance designer. In the past 5 years he collaborated with Skinsfootwear company and is currently working on his own men shoe line in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Developed industrial footwear in both Italy, China and Brazil. His work is presented in various exhibitions in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Verona, St. Etienne and Berlin.
“When I design a shoe I think about it as a sculpture to wear, an art piece you live with. You and your body affect its look and it affects yours. Footwear should have its life with and without being on the feet, on the contrary to cloths that exist only when being worn”, Kobi Levy said
Footwear consists garments worn on the feet, for fashion, protection against the environment, and adornment. Poor people in impoverished or third world groups ten do not wear footwear. Religious requirements may prohibit footwear (for example, some temples).
