            [txt] => To kick off the program 'Nintendo's 2001 Style Campaign', the gameco commissioned orthopedic footwear expert Helen Red Richards to give new meaning to the term 'platforms'. Enter Game Boy shoes and boots. Far from functional-or maybe too functional, depending on how you look at it-these new styles for gamer girls sport Game Boys set into the heel or main body of the shoe. The shoes are also color-coordinated in hues like pink, green, purple and turquoise to match their handheld console add-ons. There's a Game Boy for each foot, so fun can be had by more than one gamer. 

The shoes have been exhibited in some U.K. art galleries since the end of 2000, and can only be ordered through Nintendo.

Virtual Shoe Museum : Helen Red Richards
Home of the Virtual Show Museum

Please read our Terms and conditions for using this website.

The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and our mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes.

And finally, with the help of Taco Zwaanswijk of Interactive Affairs, who designed the site, and Bart van der Ploeg of Resolume, who programmed the database and created the content management system, we're live! And proud! And we're only just beginning...

If you have any questions about the collection, or leads on shoes or designers, please let us know. Also, we're interested in your opinion on the collection and your experiences in the museum. You can contact the Virtual Shoe Museum by mail: Liza@VirtualShoeMuseum.com.

The Virtual Shoe Museum has different 'perspectives' on a shoe or object. These perspectives (designer, focus, colour, material, etc) show related objects and thus ways to navigate the collection.

The left column of the screen contains the main navigation. Each perspective contains several 'rooms'. Each room contains thumbnails of the objects it contains (on the right side of the screen). Choose any to view this object.

On an object's page, below the image, you can view more images, video and text (if available). Above the thumbnails, you find a list showing all the rooms this object belongs to. Here you can wander the rooms and find related objects.

Helen Red Richards

To kick off the program 'Nintendo's 2001 Style Campaign', the gameco commissioned orthopedic footwear expert Helen Red Richards to give new meaning to the term 'platforms'. Enter Game Boy shoes and boots. Far from functional-or maybe too functional, depending on how you look at it-these new styles for gamer girls sport Game Boys set into the heel or main body of the shoe. The shoes are also color-coordinated in hues like pink, green, purple and turquoise to match their handheld console add-ons. There's a Game Boy for each foot, so fun can be had by more than one gamer.

The shoes have been exhibited in some U.K. art galleries since the end of 2000, and can only be ordered through Nintendo.
