The idea for this design came when Kobi noticed the "tension" created when walking with Flip Flops: The upper stretches and flips back the sole to the foot.
Kobi rearranged the sole- strap connection, fixed it, and created a high heel flip flop inspired by a Sling Shot. This design captures and emphasizes the movement which characterizes flip flops. This movement is stopped and frozen to create the design.
The Materials used for the upper: leather. The heel is made of wood. Dezeen Weekly is a curated newsletter that is sent every Thursday, containing highlights from Dezeen. Dezeen Weekly subscribers will also receive occasional updates about events, competitions and breaking news.
