As you can imagine, choosing a pair of shoes for my first post (with hundreds popping into my mind) was an incredibly hard job, however, I present you the Nova shoes – a combination of eccentric style and creativity. The famous architect, Zaha Hadid, together with United Nude designers ignored all the rules and created a new original shoe form.

Zaha Hadid: “I have always appreciated those who dare to experiment with materials and proportions. My collaboration with United Nude reinterprets the classic shoe typology; pushing the boundaries of what is possible without compromising integrity.”

The upper of the shoe combines metallic chromed vinyl rubber and is lined with the highest quality Italian kid nappa leathers. The hidden platform and heel are composed of fiberglass and the outsole is made of rubber. The shoe, in sizes 35 to 40, came as numbered limited editions of 100 per color and the price was around EUR 1500.
