Puzzle sandals by Brian Atwood

I cannot get enough of Brian Atwood right now. His latest divine creation is these leather puzzle sandals, a pair of high heels that look like they’re made from jigsaw puzzle pieces. The concept is brilliant, the look is fun and the execution is predictably spot-on.

The Sommer leather puzzle sandals have a 5 inch self-covered heel and an adjustable slingback strap. The close-up shot below shows the delicate metal frame that frames the puzzle pieces.

(Update 2023: This post was written in 2014 when these amazing Brian Atwood heels were currently brand new. They are no longer available and therefore retail links have been removed but the post retained for archive purposes. At the time of the original post the puzzle sandals were and available on pre-order only from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,795.)

On a similar note, the last time I can remember something so unique in the high heel world was a few years ago now when Christian Louboutin put out his measuring tape sandals. These clever beauties (sadly no longer available) also took a household object and turned it into a wearable work of art. Check out a picture of the measuring tape high heels below.
