About the shoe:

Our latest collaboration with Ink Dwell celebrates an icon of the Galápagos Islands famous for its spectacularly blue feet: the Blue-footed Booby. This shoe is inspired by one of Ink Dwell’s most beloved murals, the “Wall of Birds.” Of all 243 birds on the wall, we chose to highlight the Blue-footed Booby because it is the bird with our favorite footwear.

To make this shoe, Ink Dwell created a series of illustrations that capture this famed bird’s goofy yet much-loved 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 amusing routine, and invites us all to have a little more fun. Ready to step into your very own blue suede shoes?

About the collection

The Le Mondeur × Ink Dwell collection brings Jane Kim’s celebrated nature murals to life as limited-edition sneakers, transforming large-scale artworks into wearable design. Each pair is handcrafted in Portugal with vegan, eco-friendly materials and detailed embroidery — from 50,000 stitches capturing the monarch butterfly’s vibrant wings to nearly 200,000 threads depicting the playful blue-footed booby. More than shoes, they are art in motion, blending craftsmanship, conservation, and style with every step. Inspired by murals that celebrate biodiversity, the designs carry the same sense of scale and storytelling as Jane’s public works. Every stitch becomes a brushstroke, translating the wonder of nature into a form you can walk in.
