No Shoes for Electron Infuse & Rubik’s Cube Sneakers (Lens Artists Photo Challenge August 16- 2021)

Hello Readers – Joining with the Lens-Artists group this week here. The theme is shoes and feet and I am starting with street shots.

The first two photos are of brands that have staying power- Crocs and Nike. These brands are not going away.

Birght yellow crocs make a statement

Those Nike sneakers sure do match her Rubik’s Cube purse.

That last photo – with the Rubik’s cube purse, first reminded me of Snowden, and then made me wonder if the lady’s sneaker model was a “Rubik’s Cube” edition.

Here is what I found on a quick search. A handful of brands offer a “Rubik’s Cube” model. There are also socks, boots, bags, etc. I was never into the Rubik’s Cube but it was fun to see this in fashion – and some of the sneakers even had a Piet Mondrian vibe.

Next we have the single item – or lost shoe. Perhaps they also fit the color scheme of the Rubik’s cube (or not)

And have you seen flip flops made from recycled yoga mats?

The pair I had (in 2019 from Ontario) were not that comfortable, but at first I liked the idea of the recycled material. 

These next sandals, called Earth Runners here, actually have a small piece of copper embedded in the bottom, which is supposed to help with “grounding” – I have many family members who wear this sandal, but I have yet to get a pair – partly because I like a bit of cushion and I do not love the look.

I might try these copper-lined sandals because the chance to get some grounding in while out and about could be one more small thing for wellness.

In the meantime, I try to put my feet on the ground daily and if you are healing up or just want to be pro-active about dong small things for health  – More info on earthling here.

When you touch the ground with your bare feet or body, the electrons flow into your body, which then grounds you – and anyone spending hours on a tech device needs to get out and touch the earth without shoes. You could wear socks, go barefoot, place a towel down, or use sandals with the copper — but lose the shoes to get an electron infuse – it might even help your muse.

Hope your week is going well.
