Warning before you think about buying Iron Fist Shoes: They are not meant for run of the mill clothes or style or the shrinking wallflower type of people. Iron fist is a brand started in 2001 by Mike and Travis, two skateboarding mates from South Africa, who bonded over surfing, music, art and street culture. It is their love for adventure that got them to create a footwear collection which stands out as a superlative example of sheer genius of street design combined with a quality product. The shoes are unique in design and stand out in their own right. Mike and Travis started the brand because they "felt" like it and their carefree attitude screams through their designs. Believe it or not, their first outlet was the trunk of their own car! Without any market strategy or huge budget, their products got sold on the strength of the artwork and quality alone and that says a lot about the brand.
Iron Fist shoes are not for everyone or for everyday. You can't wear them with your normal office wear or plain clothes. The shoes are designed by renowned underground and street artists, so while buying them you will feel as if you are buying a piece of artwork. They are only meant for people who aspire to be radically different and uncaringly bold. You have to be an individual who creates his/her own style and a trendsetter. You need to be in love with accessories more than what you wear to fall for Iron Fist Shoes.
If by now you have made up your mind to gift yourself Iron Fist footwear, here is a rundown of the types of shoes they make:
Platforms Their range of platform heels are mind blowing. In the latest range, from Moonshine Sombie Stomper, Muerte Punk, All Hope Abandoned, Sweet Skull O Mine to Here I Lie, Sugar Hiccup and Mean Streak, each and every design is mesmerising. Some have skull design, some flowers and some just confuse you with their out of ordinary artwork that is certainly not Kitsch though refined sensibilities may label it as such.
Wedges Want the names of some of their latest wedges? Oh No, Ruff Rider and Don't Hold Your Breath! None of the designs are similar and so much better than your average wedges available in market.
Flats and Sandals The above mentioned designs and many more are also available in flats and sandals for ladies who want to enjoy their designs but don't wear heels.
Apart from these, Iron Fist Shoes also make formal heels and boots, although you won't find many designs currently.
