The shoe company United Nude is the result of a collaboration between architect Rem D. Koolhaas and English shoemaker Galahad Carter – and in the 5 years they’ve been in business, they’ve established themselves as truly dazzling and innovative designers.

For instance, you can embrace this season’s IT shoe with the Fold, a colorful ankle boot that’s  characterized by a single strip of fabric that folds around the foot front-to-back-to-front, like a scarf. These booties would be absolutely stunning with tights and a skirt.

Or, try out the Stealth, wedges with an ankle strap that were inspired by the straight lines and styling of the Stealth F117 fighter plane. Despite this macho genesis, the shoe somehow manages to be incredibly feminine and sexy.

Finally, their classic Eamz shoes - inspired by a furniture design classic, the Charles and Ray Eames chair - are perhaps their most well-known design. The unique heel adorns several types of shoes, including pumps, boots, booties, and lace-up oxfords. And, I have it on very good authority that these shoes are incredibly easy to walk in (and will surely get noticed wherever you wear them).

These are some very distinctive shoes - and I guarantee that they will add a dash of panache to your shoe collection. That’s why I’m so happy to report that the kind folks at United Nude have extended Fantastic Toe readers an exclusive offer: From now through 11/28/08, you can save 20% on your United Nude order.
