By Israeli designer Kobi Levi who sez:
The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is “alive” with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the “shoe-world”, and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear.
In this case, the unique point of view is that the shoes look like birds.
Do you see?

Proof, if required, that there’s nothing simple about Apple’s design.
The iCloud logo: proportioned according to the 1:1.6 Golden Ratio of aesthetic beauty on both the inner and outer surfaces of the cloud.
Resistance is futile.
