Dana's Dream Buy of the Day: Keith Haring Heels

I adore these over-the-top, imaginative and generally awesome heels from footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood's new Keith Haring collection.  All the styles, which pay homage to the legendary 1980s artist and his iconic imagery, are incredible, but I am especially taken by this particular shoe, with the little man standing in where the heel should be, and with the gorgeous, fresh, of-the-moment mint green color.

In truth, my appreciation for Kirkwood's shoes are not limited to only the Haring collection; his shoes are completely unique works of art and they are, as my mother blogged yesterday, definitely "outside the (shoe) box." For example, how gorgeous are these Flower Sandals?

There are only two things standing in the way of me and such astounding footwear.

And speaking of galleries, I will dream about wearing a pair of Kirkwood's Haring shoes while checking out the new Keith Haring retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum or while strolling along and admiring one of Haring's works of public art, such as this statue in San Francisco which is one of my favorites:
