The inspiration for the Robin Hood Wedge came from folding paper airplanes. The challenge was to integrate this bland object into something eye-catching. I reverted back to my childhood and thought of the legendary Robin Hood and his green bycoket hat. This shoe uses the geometric shape of the paper airplane and the bycoket, softening it with feminine curves and modernizing it with bold colors. The Robin Hood Wedge has the regality of 16th-century nobility but the power of the modern age. It represents to the wearer that they can be their own hero; their own Robin Hood.
