What happens to be an outcome of not so rare marriage of architecture and fashion? This latest joined venture of two famous architects – Zaha Hadid and Dutch Rem D Koolhaas, has resulted with the NOVA shoe, for United Nude – it is limited edition haute couture experimental piece which combines innovative material and ergonomic consideration with the striking dynamism of their architectural language and expressive sense of movement.

Koolhaas stated that he couldn’t resist working with Zaha and that they gave themselves the greatest degree of experimentation while using the latest digital design and manufacturing technologies in order to create one of the most innovative shoes ever produced. On the other hand, his collaborator Zaha confessed that she always appreciated those who dared to experiment with materials and proportions and that she understands their collaboration with United Nude as a request to reinterpret the classic shoe typology by pushing the boundaries of the possible, without compromising the integrity.

Due to its design, the shoe represents cutting edge fashion statement – striking combination of dramatic realignments which require special relationship with the shoe’s primary structure and a cantilevered system which allows the 16cm high heel to seem completely unsupported take your breath away.

In order to execute the design, injection molding and hand-molded methods as vacuum casting had to be applied. Almost a trademark, shoe’s seamless detailing is enabled by rotation molding. The hidden platform and heel are made in fiberglass while the outsole is made of rubber. The upper combines metallic chromed vinyl rubber and is lined with the highest quality leathers.

These daring pair of cantilevered chrome heels can be yours for only $2000 as well as there’s no doubt they will become museum piece in the near future.
