Erdem x Nicholas Kirkwood Silk Hiking Boots

 I'm not sure anyone would actually use these for hiking, but the concept is a nice take on the toughness of outdoor shoes. Erdem Moralioglu started making silk prints in 2005 and has since found their way to a collaboration with Nicholas Kirkwood in Fall 2010. The "hiking silhouette" features a tye die silk print in a high heel boot. The purple laces tie together the whole look to give it feel of a hiker with a touch of glamour. These boots are now available at Browns. Additional pics below.
