lipshoes.jpgThe back of a shoe is often neglected by designers, who prefer to focus their detail on the toe and heel. But seeing as a lot of people will only spot your shoes when you walk past, it's worth putting a bit of consideration into it.

Maison Martin Margiela clearly took this concept...and flipped it on its head. Instead of adding a pretty detail, they've left a lip of leather around the heel for a strangely unfinished look.

Could this be a sign of things to come? Rough and ready rather than delicate details? What do you think of these alternative black courts?
