UGG & Victor Wong

Do you still think sandals and socks need to be compatible? Tell that to the leading contenders for the title of the strangest shoes of the season - UGG in collaboration with Victor Wong.

The world-famous sheepskin shoe brand and a Chinese designer teamed up for an unusual experiment. Wong took UGG's fluffy flip-flops, Fluff Oh Yeahs, and added silver and gold finger-shaped inserts. They also come with stickers that can be applied to the "nails" of the shoe, creating a pedicure to color your look.

The designer draws inspiration from a quote by Stephen Bayeli: "Beautiful and ugly are not opposites, but aspects of the same thing." It's safe to say that this creation balances beauty and grotesque. Bizarre shoes are in trend right now. Whether you think they are avant-garde or repulsive, one thing is for sure: they stand out. As the saying goes, if you like it, I like it.
