His "Blow" shoe, based on a blow-up doll. He added: "The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is "alive" with/out the foot/body." Photo: Kobi Levy Design

He continued: "Most of the inspirations are out of the "shoe-world", and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear." Photo: Kobi Levy Design

Kobi's 'Tongue' shoes. He designed industrial footwear in both Italy, China and Brazil. Presented design in various exhibitions in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Verona, St.Etienne, Berlin and etc. Photo: Kobi Levy Design

'Market Trolley' shoes, in tartan. "Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made in my studio. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way," Kobi Levy added. Photo: Kobi Levy Design
