Ossur "Cheeta" Sprint Feet

First to recommend

Description

This is a truly great piece of design; this has nothing to do with styling. Rather than remaking stereotypical leg prosthesis, this piece is inspired by Cheetah legs. Result is that stigmatizing of the user is abolished completely and a new typology is created.
The longer you look at these the more sense they make and more logic they are.

Dead or Alive Kasumi Cosplay Costume B & Stockings

First to recommend

Description

A direct translation of a dress worn by a virtual character in a computer game. From this translation one can read the clothing was never meant to become a direct reality to be worn. If only designers didn’t think about reality of production and archetypes for a while, we could see something truly innovative.

Manolo Blahnik Shoehorn

Description

I have one and I love it because it's stylish, different and yet functional. Interestingly, it's also a conversation piece because my guests were usually surprised that it is a shoe horn rather than just a decoration item. Great home deco object for people who likes stylish and practical things.

Strength Sneaker

In Strength® Shoes, the heel is eliminated, causing the calves to support 100% of the body’s weight. The purpose is to overload works the calves and Achilles tendons. A very interesting shoe that stretches the possibilities of how a shoe can function and look.

Description

These gloves are made out of leather by hand. The wrist-part works like a hinge. The two parts work independently; this is caused by the way the wrist part has been sewn.
