United Nude - Mono Eams
November 26, 2006
United Nude was created by an architect, Rem D Koolhaas, who came up with the idea of using the Mobius for the shoe. He joined his friend, a shoemaker named Galahad JD Clark, to form a company "set on releasing specific, iconic products, and rejecting broad seasonal ranges". Together their results are outstanding.
What I like about this shoe in particular is the classic design with the unique heel. According to the information on their site, the heel was modeled after the legs of the Ray and Charles Eames chair. This is the type of shoe that you could wear for years and would never go out of style, yet always remain unique. That's a hard combination!
Available at Terra Plana for 172.50
Thanks to Chris for pointing me to these!

I can't say that I like these shoes. However, being familiar with the United Nude brand, I must say that some of the designs are quite refreshing. I especially love their sandals. Not only are they uniquely different but they make for a great conversation starter.
