Hasta La Ideas

Here’s your chance to walk a mile in Christoph Niemann‘s shoes—or those of John Maeda, James Victore, Ellen Lupton, Jessica Helfand, or Louise Fili. Each of these design world luminaries has customized a pair of TOMS shoes that are now up for auction on eBay to raise funds for the Art Directors Club scholarship fund, which is open to sophomores and juniors enrolled in accredited U.S. art schools and colleges. Neimann kept the focus on feet, while Victore created DIY Nikes, complete with swoosh. Lupton’s handpainted pair, a ribbon-strewn take on chirality by way of Stubbs & Wootton, is our pick for prettiest, and Helfand wows with a scrapbookish take on the Geneva Convention. Get a closer look at all the shoes here. Bidding starts at $100 and closes Sunday.
