Fantastic Plastic
Melissa is a Brazilian shoe company that specializes in plastic shoes. Not those jelly shoes from the 80s that gave you nasty blisters, but actually nice, cool shoes, only in plastic. I have never worn any of their shoes, so I can’t vouch that it won’t give you blisters or even worse- sweaty , stinky feet, BUT, they do look nice! I even heard that they add a ‘bubble gum’ aroma to their plastic. So at best, you may come away with ‘bubble gum with a tad of sweaty’ foot odor?? I dunno… Anyway, The first pink shoe is a shoe by Melissa designed by Karim Rashid. He’s the dude that designed stuff for Target at one time. I like his stuff. The last photo, a powder blue shoe with a heart, is actually a Vivienne Westwood design. She has done several shoe lines with Melissa. The problem with these shoes is that I have never seen these in a store and they have no retail listing anywhere. I like these shoes, but I can’t find them.
