That there wiggly piece of green is called the Mojito. It’s a shoe designed by London architect Julian Hakes.
Each shoe is made from a single piece of carbon fiber, which is covered with rubber on the side that touches the floor, and leather on the side that touches the skin. You can read more about it from the designer.
So whaddya think GBD? Win, Toss, or Fail?

Win! but I’m not so sure about comfort and walking with those, but on a shoe rack, they would definitely look good ;P
I think it’s beautiful too. But what color nail polish…Hmmmm.
Hey Animator- I love your new profile pic!
(I love yours too G, so you don’t feel left out)
Am I the only one who didn’t think it was an actual shoe here? Hahaha.
*doesn’t feel left out*
Yes G.
The title does have the word “shoe” in it. =P
Fail.
Yeah, it wins! 
Super cool and different. But the question is: are they comfortable?!
G, I couldn’t tell it was a shoe at first either. It kinda looks like a ribbon. I’d have to see it on a foot to decide if it was a w,t,or f lol
Looks like a sculpture! Not a shoe! LOL If it weren’t in the title I wouldn’t know it was a shoe. I wouldn’t wear it, looks like the kind of “shoe” you put on and take off after 5 minutes.
As you can see when it comes to shoes, I’m ALL about the comfort! Style too of course but comfort is way higher on my list 
Fail.
Thank you, Alyssa! Although…I thought it was more of the “mojito” than the “shoe” hahaha.
Ok soooo the shoes are very cool but how the heck do you wear them? I bet Kreuk could pull them off! Was anyone else distracted by a.nicholle’s profile pic? Yummy chocolate cookie! *runs to go bake*
@Kendra
haha, I kinda figured out where was supposed to be the heel and then the toes, but I have to say that the foot “palm” would be nothing but supported…unless you’d walk very very very fast so the friction of the air would….hum hehe, volonteers wanted! 
That looks so…confusing and difficult to wear! Pretty, but weird…TOSS.
@ Kendra duhhhh kk could pull it off, shes so trendy and cute with stuff like that…
i couldn’t. binks DEFFF couldn’t.
now i wanna see mari wearing them!!!!
@Tako: People would pay me money to hit you with the shoe
@G I thought Kathy meant the booze form at first too. I was like O_o *reads* “Ohhhhhhhhh”
I’ll pay ya 20 bucks, Binks.
Thank you! Good to see that someone else had the exact same reaction haha.
I’ll wear ‘em for free! :p
I want cookies! I haven’t had a chocolate chip cookie in about a year or two!
i volunteer to model them if someone else volunteers to purchase them.
i’m not a shoe person (i literally own one pair of heels, two dressy flats, pink converses, and running shoes. period) but i think they are very cool.
Yeah! I’m not a shoe person either. I have sandals, and Nike sneakers and a pair of dress shoes and uh, that’s about it, really. I’m not much of a shoe person lol.
Animator has me beat! I’ve got a pair of sandals, a pair of dress shoes, a pair of Keens (which need to be repaired), and a pair of Converses. I’ve also got flip flops that I wear around the house. Does that count?
G and Binks, I don’t even want to know why alcohol was the first thing that came to your mind when you read “mojito” because as we all know, young ones shouldn’t even know what a mojito is.
MOJITO!
hey hey, binks was a TJ girl, lets give her some credit.
anddd Gertie is at legal drinking age in canadia.. so we all know
shes been hittin up the bars for happy hour.
@Kendra I showed the picture to my mom this morning and she thinks you wear it with your heal on the curved part thats going in and then of course your toes on the flat part. but that would just be soooo uncomfortable. but who knows Kristin probably could pull that off lol.
Those are so pretty. The stilettos with a ‘twist’ or wait… Howabout the Rollercoaster heels! hah!
xx Emma-Lu
Artistic perspective: Win.
Comfortable Shoe perspective: Fail.
=P I thought it was a chair at first, before I read the Title. hahahaha!
-Oblivious….
Toss …I would probably pay to see someone try to walk in those things! lol

November 28, 2009Wow, I don’t know why, but I really like it. From an artist’s perspective it’s quite clever. Now is it comfortable? I don’t know, I’ve never tried it. If it is, it might be a hit. I like it.
