A Pakistani-American designer Saks Afridi collaborated with the shoe brand Markhor to create the Hawa Sandal which is an upgraded version of the traditional Peshawari Chappal.

The footwear is part of Saks Afridi’s space mosque collection that has a sci-fi Sufism theme. The designer has elaborated the concept behind the chappal in this Instagram post:

He also shared shots of people wearing the Hawa Sandal and levitating.

Previously, French fashion designer Christian Louboutin and British fashion designer Paul Smith have attempted (and failed) with their versions of the Peshawari chappal which is native to Pakistan’s northwestern regions.

What do you think of this version of the Peshawari chappal?
