United Nude - Mono Eams

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!

Irregular Choice - Juggler

What would a atypical shoe blog be without a posting for shoes from Irregular Choice? These are the type of shoes you either love, hate, or love to hate. I belong to the first category.

These conjure images of those funny court jesters from times of old, hence the name "juggler". Can't you just imagine throwing these on with a pair of brightly colored tights?

They are out of stock at their store, however, if you live in the U.S., you can find them for $153 at Zappos in both black and red.

Hot Chocolate's Honey

Here are some super cute shoes from Hot Chocolate Design in Venezuela.

What makes then even more great is how cheap they are at about $45. What makes them not so great is that it looks like they don't ship internationally yet. We can hope though, can't we?

John Fluevog Harlow

The first post of this blog is dedicated to a lovely pair of shoes from one of the most outstanding quirky shoe makers John Fluevog. This number is not extremely atypical itself, however it has several features such as the gorgeous brogue detailing and the scalloped edging and details, which make this classic spectator style outstanding.
