25-year-old, Toronto-based graffitist Matthieu Missiaen has the one-of-a-kind provisions you may have been looking for.
The Parisien artist handcrafts his shoes under the label Ndeur. The line ranges from soaring pumps to old-school high-tops and are fashioned using a canvas of vintage leather footwear, on which he doodles street-art-inspired scenes with oil-based paints.
The effect is fresh – a stylistic palate cleanser after the bland taste of your same-old, overpriced, black pumps.
And it seems we’re not alone in this opinion. In the short time since his introduction into streetwear boutique The Rage (13 Kensignton Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada) Missaien has been raved about in several publications and included in Vans Shoe show in Toronto.
To add to the mystique of owning your own wearable piece of shoe-art, all of Missiaen’s works are one-of-a-kind. On The Rage’s Etsy site, you enter your feet measurements and style requests for hand-tailored effect. They’re also reasonably priced – from $120 – $180 – so the savvy shoe-ophiles among us will have no trouble chalking this one up to a necessary cultural investment.
