Insa Heels

You may remember UK Artist Insa from this Dunny he made for Kid Robot in August of 2007, which sold out very quickly at Hero. Now, Insa introduces Insa Heels. It was only a matter of time for this to come, after the artist has become known through his heels design in recent years.

Based in London, ‘Insa Heels’ is a bold backlash against mass production and aims to establish itself as a luxury footwear brand with limited edition colors, using only top end materials and European production.

The artist got together with Ruth Shaw, a London based shoe designer, to bring Insa Heels to life. The first release includes three colorways of the "Classic" stiletto, both featuring the iconic Insa Heels designs.

The website with online store will be going live today, September 17th.

Have a detailed look at the first line-up of Insa Heels, these are so HOT...
