Heel Less Shoe

Noritaka Tatehana

Sculptural textured stingray leather heel-less platform ankle boot adorned with Swarovski crystals, 2014.

Combining innovative engineering with avant-garde design, the shoe challenges conventional footwear through its dramatic silhouette and concealed support structure, exemplifying Tatehana’s vision of wearable art.

Part of the permanent collection of Museu do Calçado, São João da Madeira, Portugal.
