Julia Veres, the shoe designer from Amsterdam who made this unique pair of shoes with wine bottle cork, doesn’t intend to sell them as a real pair of shoes, but challenges the idea of wearing shoes. How far can you go before a shoe becomes unwearable? What material and construction changes can give a shoe “personality”? Designing footwear is like walking a tightrope between usefulness and artistic freedom.
