LE MONDEUR X INK DWELL: THE BLUE-FOOTED BOOBY

Our latest collaboration with Ink Dwell celebrates an icon of the Galápagos Islands famous for its spectacularly blue feet: the Blue-footed Booby. For this shoe, Ink Dwell created a series of illustrations that capture this famed bird’s goofy yet beloved mating dance, which we then transformed—through nearly 200,000 stitch points—into an embroidered, wearable masterpiece. The Blue-footed Booby captures a majestic hunter in its goofy routine, and invites us all to have a little more fun. Ready to step into your very own blue suede shoes?
