dazzling new shoe camouflage / bipedal misdirection

Works by Steve Morris
People may recall that, since 2020, we have on occasion been posting examples of the dazzle ship camouflage plans of a Washington DC-based graphic designer and toy-maker named Steve Morris.

He’s created a wide variety of images (not just camouflage) as can be accessed online.

As shown above, of late he has been designing dazzle-patterned shoes, based on actual historic ship camouflage plans. The results are both elegant and hilarious. They're really wonderful. On the back side, the shoes are even labeled as port and starboard (left and right). These can be ordered online here and here
