When architects and footwear mix...

May24

... this is the end product! How crazy is this shoe? It's a collab between Lacoste and architecture firm Zaha Hadid. I can't even begin to explain, so here's some more info via Sneaker Freaker:

"The Zaha Hadid for Lacoste footwear collaboration began with a digitized interpretation of the iconic crocodile logo. Hadid’s research team then used this as a basis to explore a series of surfaces with repeated patterns. ‘The design expression behind the collaboration with Lacoste footwear allows the evolution of dynamic fluid grids,’ explains Hadid. ‘When wrapped around the shape of a foot, these expand and contract to negotiate and adapt to the body ergonomically. In doing so a landscape emerges, undulating and radiating as it merges seamlessly with the body.’"

So, would any of you guys wear this? I'm not sure if I would, it looks kind of like a funky rain boot. Lots more info from the Sneaker Freaker article, so be sure to take it all in.
