Walking on Jewels

A thick clear sole composed of transparent spheres reminiscent of gemstones. Each sphere is engineered to move softly in response to the motion of the foot, delivering a distinctive walking sensation and reliable grip. By controlling the flexibility of the material to achieve optimal cushioning when worn, it produces a fluffy, floating feeling that cannot be sensed by touch alone. The very fact that it carries volume while remaining transparent subverts the heaviness typically associated with thick soles.

The upper is knit in a pump shape. Instead of straps, there is a handkerchief sandwiched between the upper and outsole, which is tied to complete the shoe.

Heel height: approximately 5 cm.
