高跟鞋是性感的标志之一，而裙摆摇摇的裙子也能唤起心底的柔情。那么这两者结合在同一款产品上呢？日本设计公司nendo再次挑战常规，打造出skirt-shoes系列－－－穿裙子的鞋。鞋子上的“裙子”部分采用了透明的pvc材料和真皮皮革，其中鞋跟部分可视化的设计保持了高跟鞋原有的轻盈感，“裙子”则会随着步伐的迈动儿摇摆。不同材料间的结合与色彩搭配都煞费苦心，这是一组具有美学价值的高工艺性作品。

A selection of women’s shoes designed as a part of a project supporting a small shoe workshop located in Shibuya, which is known as a gathering place for Japan’s younger generation. Material is draped over the heel portion of basic pumps and heeled sandals as if the shoes were wearing a skirt. There are three basic designs: a heeled sandal that uses transparent PVC material, pumps that use leather material punched in a dotted pattern, and pumps that combine leather and transparent materials in order to create an impression of separation between the leather. The heel is visible through the skirt in each of the designs, with careful attention given to the overlap of colours and amount of cover. The skirt material has been given just enough leeway that it appears to sway faintly when walking in the shoes. Differences between the elasticity and hardness of leather and PVC materials presented unique challenges to the manufacturing process, making the skills and intuition of a shoemaker with many years of experience essential to the products’ creation.
