The Space Editions are a Fluevog take on the classic creeper. Designed for Fluevog's SS19 collection and inspired by space exploration, the shoes feature a 3D sole texture adapted from actual 3D scans of the moon's surface done by NASA.
A specially designed foam insert within the outsole provides an extra-thick cushion under the foot to simulate the feeling of less gravity. The outsole is made with 70% recycled rubber and is inscribed with the words "walk gently and always come back" - an invitation to leave a lighter footprint.
Featured in Anna Sui's Fall 2022 RTW Collection for NYFW and the Fluevog x George Clinton Fall 2019 "Mothership" boots.
Made in Portugal.
