Now think shoe.
What comes to mind?
Exactly, nothing.
Well, in future these little numbers will - the Bird Skull Shoe aka the Biomimicry Shoe by Dutch fashion designer Marieka Ratsma and US architect Kostika Spaho.
These shoes are inspired by a bird skull.
And if you're still not convinced, then take a look at this:
Oh, and WTF is Biomimicry you ask? As did I. Yes, it is a real word. In simple terms - it is the examination of nature, its models, systems, processes and elements to emulate or take inspiration from in order to solve human problems. Yes, these little babies would solve my problems!
These are pretty creative shoes. I would run around town in these little numbers (though they look so delicate). Good news - they are custom made to order and on sale as of Jan 2013! Get into it and while you're at it, check out Marieka's blog!
