- [Narrator] While we all
know there are some expensive shoes out there, like the $26,000 Nike Back
to the Future Air MAGs, most of us don't realize how
odd the world of shoes can be. But one quick look around
the Virtual Shoe Museum changes all that. Let's take a look at 40 contenders for the craziest shoe ever made. - Be amazing.
(upbeat music) - The Hamburglar's Favorite Kicks. In 2008, Nike commissioned
seven people to reinterpret an iconic piece of sportswear. This was Swedish designer's
Olle Hemmendorff's take on the classic Air Max 90. When asked why he chose to make his shoe look like a Big Mac, the artist said: "in the
tradition of material innovation of AM 90, I constructed a running shoe, using the most powerful, most durable and most delicious material
known to man, the hamburger." Cheer Bear Pumps. Some people make a living
designing weird shoes. Kayla Stojek, owner of Zombie
Peepshow, is one of them. She's also the mind behind these shoes. These platform heels feature
lace trim, a faux fur heel, and a custom-made scene
in the acrylic heel. Though each of these
scenes is custom-made, all of them contain a
rainbow, some fluffy clouds, and a dash of glitter. Goldfish Disco Heels. Common in the Disco era, these fish tank shoes
are making a comeback. Once only purchasable
in back alley boutiques, variations of these aquarium-ready shoes can now be purchased online. As animal cruelty laws have
come a long way since the 1970s, the real goldfish have been
replaced with fake ones. But, they're still pretty eye-catching. Footception Sneakers. Created by a 22-year-old named Giorgio, these concept shoes
look like they deserve a spot in Pennywise's closet. If you want a pair of your own, however, you're out of luck. This is just a one-off concept piece. Still, with shoes like the
Vibram FiveFingers on the market, it won't be long before
Christian Louboutin rolls out his take on this design. Tokyo LED Shoes. Developed as a concept
piece for a photo album, these shoes are the definition of lit. Even if those kicks can't
be bought on store shelves, you can pick up smart
footwear like the Orphe. Showcasing eight different
colors of programmable LEDs, these trainers are like your
own personal rave machine. Total Knock Out. While all evidence points to this boxing glove-inspired pair of
shoes being a Photoshop job, it wouldn't surprise me if there's a pair out there somewhere. It looks like Bobo the clown has finally gone off the deep end. Tarantula Pumps. Remember those goldfish pumps? Well, people used to
stuff all sorts of things in those platform shoes. While most people fill them
with things like rhinestones and plush toys, others prefer
to shove tarantulas in there. Unfortunately, like most
people with two left feet, I'm not really in the
market for four more. Goose Boots. Much like Kayla Stojek, Costa Magarakis makes his living selling and designing strange shoes. Many of his designs are
inspired by a strange mixture of his home city, Alice in
Wonderland, and fairytales. This particular piece is inspired
by the Mother Goose story and perfectly showcases the
designer's dark-minded whimsy. If this is how he
expresses his inner-self, I've got exactly zero desire
to meet him in a dark alley. Or anywhere else for that matter. Abacus Heels. Most people don't want toddlers
playing with their shoes. These ones were designed to attract them. Designed by Marjolein Stormezand, these Abacus-studded shoes would be perfect for the Pied Piper. For anyone else, they're a

for something worthwhile, the rodent's corpses

slippers was designed to poke fun at this poor use of resources. Baby's First Fursona. If you've got $450 laying around, you could take a big step toward building your first fur suit. Created by Carrie John, these
heelless knee-high boots come covered in a layer
of two-toned faux fur. While the pair you see was
designed to be a hyper-realistic representation of a gray wolf, she's more than willing to design a pair that's right for you. Madonna Heels. While Kayla Stojec and Magarakis
are living comfortably, there's one odd-shoe designer
who's living like a king, Kobi Levi. Though his designs seek
to combine the everyday with the high-fashion, they're certainly out of
the average person's reach. This pair of Madonna-inspired
heels, for example, will run you just over 3000 dollars. The Cross-Dressing Carpenter's Wet Dream. At just $1450, this Korbi piece
is one of his cheaper ones. Inspired by the artistic process, these sandals feature a
wooden beam-inspired upper and saw blade heel. Bicycle Heels. Another incredible shoe from Korbi is this British bike inspired high-heel which is yours for $1,600. According to the website,

spikes of stainless steel. Leatherface's Gift to His Wife As she's such a big fan of horror movies, I'd be surprised if Kayla's catalog didn't include a chainsaw heel. Using a mixture of
sculpted latex, faux bone, and careful carving, the Queen of Weird Shoes
created this masterpiece. Costing just $250, these shoes even make
realistic chainsaw noises. Bedazzled Armadillo Boots. Alexander McQueen developed
this 30 cm high 'Armadillo' boot in 2010. Inspired by the idea of Atlantis, he imagined fashion in
a world where everyone was forced to live underwater. Never commercially produced, each one of these boots
was carved from wood and featured four custom-length zippers. Something's Fishy Here. Finally! Something on
this list I can afford! These fishy flip-flops can be
bought for under $10 in gray, green, or hot pink.

throwbacks pair easily with most wireless headsets. For all you old school kids out there, there's a CD-ROM player. At just $199, these things

this Kraken-based design. When asked to explain the
rationale behind his work, Tesoro said, "A fashion interpretation

know what the Tooth Fairy does with all those dang teeth. R2-Dayum-2. Looks like Kayla Stojec's
a sci-fi fan too. Every one of these R2-D2
pumps is hand painted and equipped with their own set of LEDs. If you're looking to own a pair however, they're no longer in production. Good luck on eBay! These Shoes Don't Blow. Remember when I said that Kobi
Levi is the high-brow weirdo? I take that back. This design-the Blow-is
one of two designed to highlight the close association
high heels have with sex. If you've got an eye for the details, you'll see the blow-up valve
at the back of the heel nodding to the kinky theme. Cardboard Adidas. While not practical, cardboard shoes have been making the rounds for a while. Easy and cheap to make, a few DIYers have been using
their paper-folding skills to create name-brand

your inner tree-hugger. Just don't go singing

of red, blue, and silver is classic oriental, its curvy silhouette is definitely unique. As it uses real gemstones, these high-end heels are
probably out of your price range. Foam Shoes. Christopher Kane, the guy behind the Crocs

money selling $1000 shoes made from kitchen sponges, designers have been trying to imitate him. This pair of shoes is just
one of these copycats. BibbitiBobbity Heels. While I couldn't find much on
the origins of these shoes, they definitely deserve a spot. Judging by their surroundings, it's likely they're on
display at a museum. As to the designer, I'm guessing it was a fairy godmother that got tired of lugging around pumpkins. Your Own Hunk of Astroturf. Grass flip flops like
these let you experience the feeling of walking on real
grass without all the bugs. Designed by Quinn Canera and
his mom for a class project, this odd piece of footwear
received enough fanfare to convince them to
manufacture them en masse. Cobra Boots. It didn't take me long to figure out why I couldn't find the
designers of these shoes. They probably died making them. Featuring real cobra heads, these snakeskin boots are ideal
for Indiana Jones villains and Cobra Commanders. Hoof Heels. Creating one of these hoofed stilettos takes designer Iris
Schieferstein months of work. Before anything can be done, the meat must be stripped
away from the animal's foot, and the leftovers sent to the tanner. When asked why she chose to use
horse hooves Iris explained, "I love horses and I love shoes, so I thought this would be perfect. Horses have a beautiful walk and I wanted to recreate
that with my footwear." Why the gun? It looks cool. Duh. Beer and Fish Tank Shoe. These disco-ready platform

shopping cart consumerism? A baby stroller from the outtakes of Honey I Shrunk the Kids? While it's hard to tell what
the designer was going for, these shoes definitely
belong on this list. And if they are half as
uncomfortable as I suspect, the people wearing them
will belong in the ER. Hitting the Nail on the Heel. I'm pretty sure magicians make a living avoiding situations like this. Looking like a
carpentry-project gone wrong, this pair of 'shoes' is
nothing more than a chain and a filed-down nail. As there is little information
available about the designer, I'm hoping it's just a Photoshop job. Otherwise that footwear model
made that nail disappear right into her foot. Banana Slippers. Most of us look at a
banana and see a fruit. Levi Kobi sees a slipper. By emulating the gentle curve
