Space Shoes: United Nude's New Shoe You'll Love to Pieces



United Nude is a women's shoe line started by Rem D. Koolhaas, a Dutch architect, and Galahad Clark, a seventh generation shoemaker from Somerset, England. The innovative brand sells architecturally beautifully shoes in over 40 countries including places like the U.S., Afghanistan, Guam, Mali, Madagascar and Tunisia. One of the original designs is the United Nude Möbius shoe. It supports the wearer's foot with a single band that forms the upper part of the shoe, the sole, heel and foot-bed.


United Nude is introducing a new design called the Moon Life United Nude Flat Pack Shoe which is a high-heeled shoe created to function in a gravity-rich environment and highly fashionable situations. The shoe designers were invited to take part in the "Moon Life" Project by artist Spanish Performance Artist Alicia Framis. United Nude's product is a shoe that comes in twenty artfully cut pieces [per shoe] that can be put together with the thin wires yourself. Assembly time for each flat carbon fiber-based heel is an estimated ten minutes. Keep your eyes peeled for the final product to hit stores soon in very limited numbers.
