Every pattern walked somewhere with someone.
Early morning in the old town, and it is out the door before you. Twelve years began with this pair.
You stood in front of those two paintings for a long time. Now they are on your feet, walking the next part with you.
The cat came round your ankle and you crouched there for ages. That afternoon, these were there.
Anyone who knows this pattern does not need it explained. You have probably walked the same streets.
Too many places ask you to be serious. Keep one spot for a joke.
Scene: A skate plaza in the street
Walking is slower than driving, and you get to see what is happening at the side of the road.
That dinner is the same every year. This year you want them to remember what was on your feet.
Twelve shapes, twelve cities, one road.
Early morning in the old town, and it is out the door before you. Twelve years began with this pair.
One press of the heel in the stairwell — the door is not even closed and you are already downstairs.
One press of the heel in the stairwell - the door is noteven closed and you are already downstairs.
One smooth cream slab under a slip-on knit. On rushed mornings there is no lacing — foot in, and you are on your way.
A round, well-planted sole that stands as well as it walks. Gallery days alternate standing and strolling — it carries both.
A pool of deep ocean-blue suede on top, one smooth cream slab below. Winter days moving between indoors and out — the blue stays calm, the step stays steady.
The sole is built in waves, and it takes uneven roads in stride. The pug on the upper tilts its head and keeps the weekend loose.
A toothed outsole for rain-wet flagstones and mossy slopes — after the rain, you still walk sure. The flowers hide in the dark and show as you move.
The classics, repainted by UIN.
Worn with: A full city day, from the metro to the gallery.
Redesigned: Prints straight onto the classic low cut — a pair that is a painting you wear
Worn with: Trips, long rides, between seasons; a suitcase regular.
Redesigned: One upper, many soles: a sole for every road, the upper never changes.
Worn with: Skirts and cropped trousers, out light.
Redesigned: Ballet softness carried into a travel shoe — it folds, and lives in your bag.

Redesigned: Knit carries the city palette, and the pattern follows the weave.
Worn with: Coats and socks, layered for winter.
Redesigned: The pattern runs off the upper and up the shaft — winter has something to look at too.

Redesigned: A walking frame dressed in maps of far places.
Worn with: Over swimwear, loose linen, holiday pace.
Redesigned: Pattern painted across the sole — pool to beach without changing.

Worn with: Straight jeans and denim, the match-all daily.
Redesigned: The skate upper kept plain in shape and given to the painting.
Worn with: Linen dress and straw bag, on holiday.
Redesigned: Spanish rope work wrapped around a painted upper — more seaside in every step.
