It’s hard to believe a shoe like this could ever make it to production. Thanks to Solestruck’s dedication to discovering and promoting new designers, the jaw-dropping Andreia Chaves invisible shoes — which first stunned us two years ago — are now available for purchase.
Well, maybe not all of us since these things cost a staggering $4,000, but if you’re a shoe fanatic and have that kind of money, please consider dropping them on these. We need more art to see and appreciate in this world, don’t you agree? Most especially if they’re in the form of shoes!
For $4,000, you get these made-to-order faceted mirror wedge booties, handmade in Italy by the designer Andreia Chaves herself.
