Israeli footwear designer Kobi Levi is obviously one of the most talented and yet crazy designers of our time. his shoes are incredible and unforgettable, but are they wearable? these shoes balance on the verge of art and design fascinating us with intriguing ideas and unusual approaches to design and presentation.

i like these shoes but i don't think i could ever wear them. they're like museum masterpieces - you can look but you can't touch

still, Kobi Levi has won my heart with his fantastic ideas!

Kobi Levi graduated from Bezalel academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem, Israel, in the jewelry and accessories design department. He now specializes in footwear design and development/making. As a freelance designer in the past 5 years he has collaborated with Skinsfootwear company and is currently working on his own men shoe line in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

He has also developed industrial footwear in both Italy, China and Brazil. His work is presented in various exhibitions in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Verona, St. Etienne and Berlin.

Kobi Levi: 'When I design a shoe I think about it as a sculpture to wear, an art piece you live with. You and your body affect its look and it affects yours. Footwear should have its life with and without being on the feet, on the contrary to cloths that exist only when being worn'.
