A size 7 high heel, decorated in old comic book art, these shoes take on the life of the back alleys where Batman does his good deeds.
​
Why, How, were these shoes created?
​
"I love Batman but I love Gotham more, and there really isn't anything like this that I have seen before. So I took some of my comic book collection and made it into something more practical. I used glue to paste the comic book clipping to the shoe, then I sealed it with an acrylic spray. When that was done I used dimensional paint to make it pop." - Dov Alexander

Guns, lots of guns." - Dov Alexander

"When I work I typically black out, I never remember how I made them but I do keep track of the material I used, I can typically reverse engineer what I have made and describe it. These shoes started as white Reebok's given by a local gamer, she is in love with the video game Call of Duty. So I found some war comic books and some old hot wheels from a thrift store and just slammed it all together like a hot mess. I used glue, arcylic, fabric glue, dimensional paint and assessories to make it all come together." - Dov Alexander

Custom size 10s these comic book shoes were show stoppers at the Calgary Comic Expo 2019.
​
How, Why were these created?
​
"I found these slick pair of boots at a thrift store and new they had to go big in color. My GF is a size 10 so I thought let's have fun, I used a holographic cover to a Harley Quinn comic book and other mashups from Batman comics to create a love affair style boot. I also picked up some dollhouse miniatures and found a deck of cards, for the shoe laces I used parachute cord, for the toe, I added a real cupboard handle as a lion door knocker for Wayne Manor. The border of the shoe I used nail polish and dimensional paint, the yellow and blue is actually the joker laughing HAHAHAH." - Dov Alexander
