The evolution graphic 🙂‍↕️

love this!! especially the evolution picture and the idea that hard-to-walk-in shoes are a status symbol in cities — all so interesting! 🩷

I’ve had a love for platform sandals recently when i used to wear anything open-toe — I didn’t realise it was a change in the overall fashion tide!

tbh platform sandals are my go-to bc the toes are free AND above the ground!

it’s truly a fun time to work at vibram — our main focus has been and will always be performance, so it’s nice to receive our unforeseen roses in the fashion world. can’t wait to share this with colleagues x

that’s probably why it resonates so much! i am also fascinated by all the projects with vibram soles (not only fivefingers) - just an endless fountain of creativity! so exciting to watch you guys :)

I remember seeing nerdy gym guys wear these shoes to do crossfit-style training, it's amazing to see how far they've come

Viktoriia Vasileva's avatar

I honestly don't know if the fitness bros know that fashion boys and girls are on to them yet haha it's like the shoe exists in two separate worlds that aren't aware of each other rn

David Azrael's avatar

I feel absolutely certain that they don't. It's just so funny to watch these shoes go from the "actually it's better for your feet to walk in these" crowd to "let's step outside the rave for a cig" crowd

Viktoriia Vasileva's avatar

hahaha that’s so good

Can confirm this - I’ve had a few ppl start a convo with me about them, assuming I’m wearing them for functional/ foot health purposes. I have to quickly interrupt them and explain that no, my primary motive is fashion, not podiatry.

it honestly can’t get sexier than that Phoebe Philo wedge promo photo, toes for the masses!

The feet shoes were an oft mocked footwear choice in middleschool. Admittedly, they are comfy af

Viktoriia Vasileva's avatar

ok judging by how I would cry if my jeans weren't skin tight skinny in middle school, I must be ready for a pair of FiveFingers now haha

Related: I am so over blending my eyeshadow. If lines were good enough for Sophia Loren, they're good enough for me
