Sponge Shoes

New from designer Christopher Kane: shoes with kitchen sponges glued onto them. They retail for around £800 (about $1046), but are already sold out.

But if they were available, you could round out the look with a sponge clutch from the same designer.

And to really complete your kitchen cleaning look, don't miss these mop shoes, also from Christopher Kane. (More info: refinery29)

That clutch would make a nice accessory while wearing your Green Bay Packers Cheesehead.

This designer was probably sitting in his kitchen a 2AM running out of time to make deadline.

If you want to go for comfort, do it all the way! Put the sponge inside the front of the shoe as well! Better still, go for a slipper with a removable sponge interior which you can throw in the washer and dryer! Great to mop up foot sweat!

What a lovely compliment for Maison Margiela's "Artisanal" collection, posted a few days ago. These incorporate Home Depot's cleaning products aisle with the rest.

Why didn't this come into fashion back then?

They look like synthetic sponges. For that price I want natural sponges, preferably organic.
