Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz Ruby Red Slipper Nikes by (IN)DECOROUS TASTE

Dorothy from Wizard of Oz meets Lady Gaga. Lauren Tennenbaum of (IN)DECOROUS TASTE was asked by a woman at Nike to create some sort of Nike sneaker slash heel platform hybrid, I’d say she delivered. Given a sample lot of about 5 Nike running shoes Lauren picked the all red pair and gave them a completely new identity. Here is a quick step by step: deconstruct, chop off toes, hand sew ruby red sequins to mesh, build a new rubber foam platform, rebuild a pointy toe, attach platform, glue ruby red sequins to platform, repeat. Sounds easy enough, right? This definitely took some skills, especially building the foam platforms to equal perfection. I cannot even imagine trying to walk in these, pure aweseomeness.
