Wish List: F-Troupe Bathing Shoes

Image from F-Troupe.com

First saw these "Bathing Shoes" on Solestruck.com and I became a fan instantly. They were featured in an email from Solestruck and I would normally overlook most shoes but the bright colour on the bathing shoes caught my eye instantly! I think these Bathing Shoes are a revolutionary take on the classic sneaker shoe due to its material and bold colours. They are made of plastic and the idea behind the name is due to it being waterproof. It's very flattering on the legs and the diamond cut-out patterns on the sides are very unique. 

Being summer, a Bathing Shoe in a super vivid colour would be perfect to match with almost any casual outfit...or even swimwear on the beach! They retail for GBP20 on F-Troupe's site/ shop if you're in the UK or around USD60 on Solestruck.com. It's a little cheaper to buy if you're in the UK but since I'm in Asia, shipping costs are currently preventing me from indulging in a pair. Boo-hoo. 

If you're interested, check out the F-Troupe site HERE  :)

Or on Solestruck.com HERE :)

UPDATE: I just ordered a black pair off Asos.com! They have them in limited colours and are selling for USD28-34 plus free shipping!! If the black pair turns out alright, I'll probably get another in a bright pink :)

Happy Sunday

Andreia Chaves: "Naked" & "Invisible" Shoes

Found out about these shoes on Solestruck.com and as it turns out, they are currently an exclusive on that site. The futuristic and minimalist design of these heels are definitely unique and a nod to aspects of modern design- clean cut, geometric and very structured. Very cool concept behind the designs- the invisible shoe reflects light and mirrors its surroundings to create an invisibility effect; the naked shoe, from far, looks like a web of lines constructed all around the feet.

Invisible shoe. Retails for USD 3,995.95 on Solestruck.com

Naked shoe. Retails for USD 2,795.95 on Solestruck.com 

What's more is that these shoes are made to order with real glass on the Invisible shoe and a 3D printing technology used on creating the webbed lines seen on the Naked shoe. They were released early February 2011 but were not as available until now.
