Julian Hakes created the latest shoe design-the open concept shoe. It is dubbed as the Mojito. It was initially seen on Dezeen and then picked up by Gizmodo, this unique shoe idea has sparked much conversation since no photographs have been released showing an actual foot wearing it. The latest buzz about the new shoe design by Julian Hakes is understandable. Unlike a traditional shoe, the Mojito does not have a foot plate. Julian Hakes design supports only the ball and heel which makes the wearer feel like she’s walking on air. The need for less material arose because of our foot’s natural arch which spans the gap between the two support points.
The open concept shoe is made of carbon fiber; laminated with rubber on the side that touches the floor and leather on the side next to the skin. The design consists of a single piece that wraps around the wearer’s foot. Certainly more appropriate for red carpets and special events than a daily walking shoe, the design if functional, will surely garner plenty of attention. We could expect that in the coming months, we could see a photo of a girl actually wearing the Mojito.
