Mohito Shoe by Julian Hakes

London architect Julian Hakes has designed a pair of shoes with no foot plate.
Called Mojito, the design consists of a single piece that wraps around the wearer’s foot, forming support for the heel and ball.The foot naturally forms a bridge between the two.

The product is made of carbon fibre, laminated with rubber on the side that touches the floor and leather on the side next to the skin.

Thanx Jad!
