Kobi Levi’s first shoe designs were created during his high school days. They were made from cardboard! In 2001 he graduated from Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design, Jerusalem.
For his own leisure Kobi designed shoes which challenged the standard definitions of design, art and fashion. Those footwear creations were uploaded to a blog Kobi started in April 2010. The blog took on a life of its own, reactions streamed in from all over the world. The over-night exposure caught Lady Gaga’s attention and she used the Double Boot design in her “Born this Way” music video.
Worldwide attention and publications led to a growing demand for Kobi’s artistic styles. In July 2011 Kobi opened his studio in Tel Aviv and offered his original designs for sale. In the studio he creates, develops and produces limited editions from his designs. All pairs are made by hand from high-quality materials.
