Zaha Hadid Does Architectural Shoes

 
The Swelle Life3-1 Lacoste has partnered with renowned architect Zaha Hadid to produce a line of shoes that push that boundaries of footwear. You may remember Hadid as the creator of the revolutionary art pavillion that housed the Chanel 2.55 handbag tribute exhibition. (Or you know her well and are giving me a big 'DUH!' right now.)

Born from a digital interpretation of the iconic logo of the brand, the shoes are crafted from Italian calf leather and printed in relief realized by heated metal plates. “Wrapped around the foot, these shoes adapt in an ergonomic way to the shapes of the body" explains Hadid. The run is limited to 850 pairs which will be sold exclusively at colette from July 20th. No price has been given. Most likely to avoid a collective gasp around the world.

That's all the info colette provided and I can't find anything on Hadid's site. I think we deserve more! How do they stay wrapped? Are they unisex? What colours will be available? Will I be able to leap over tall buildings in a single bound?
