		<description><![CDATA[For her graduation project at Central Saint Martins, Julia Hederus used inspiration from Legos in the menswear line she produced for London Fashion Week 2007.  The clothes were block-shaped and glued together. She then approached K-Swiss to collaborate on a line of block fetish footwear, which debuted this fall. &#8220;Shoes are very different from clothes,&#8221; she says, &#8220;and architecture has always been a great inspiration to me in fashion. So designing trainers feels even more natural. I often imagine very complex and futuristic shapes.&#8221; The result of Julia&#8217;s fascination with blocks and architecture has resulted in sneakers that meld modernist hard edges with the soft soles of sneakers.There are three styles in the line. Cubes, a classic low-top K-Swiss with the twist of square leather tabs protruding from the shoe, is the most basic. Blocks takes the aesthetic further in a low-top with velcro closure blocks that can be added at the wearers discretion. The high-blocks are my favorite, a non-clunky, streamlined high-top with blocks velcro closure. The minimal tastefulness of the shoes is hard to resist, and their K-Swiss comfort makes it even harder. The Hederus line for K-Swiss retails for $130-$195 and is available at www.oki-ni.com.  ]]></description>
