The exhibition organised by the Embassy of Israel in Vietnam in collaboration with Vincom Center for Contemporary Art (VCCA) enables the Vietnamese fashion world and audience to enjoy works of art that lie on the fine line between consumer products and fantasy produced by Kobi Levi.
After graduating from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in 2021, Levi began crafting innovative shoes which made the wearer rethink the world around them. The symbols and concepts that appear in his works have been able to turn the unexpected into reality.
He draws inspiration from everyday trips, animals, objects, and human interactions, turning them into creative motive. Levi often uses hallucinogenic dimensions and effects in shoes, from which the user lingers and questions their own feelings and its meaning.
Twenty-four of his artworks represent a diverse range of his iconic creations, including the chewing-gum design worn by singer Fergie in the MV “M.I.L.F.$”.
Kobi Levi also prepares a special design inspired by Vietnam, including a design featuring the stork (Chú cò). Also on display are banana shoes, harp shoes, xylophone shoes, and others in elaborate surprise shapes.
The exhibition is scheduled to last through to July 20. Apart from FootWearArt, Levi will rock the runway of the Vietnam International Fashion Week getting underway in Ho Chi Minh City from July 13 to 16.

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) officially announced on Monday that it will end the contract with Park on January 31, 2023, closing his fruitful five-year journey with Vietnamese football that had started in late 2017. The decision means that the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup, set to take place between December and January, will be Park’s last tournament as the head coach of the men’s national football team. The VFF affirmed that the farewell to the South Korean coach, who brought significant success to Vietnamese football during his tenure, came from a mutual understanding and the desire for a prosperous future for both parties. Following the announcement, a VFF member told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper that the federation’s standing committee is in talks with potential candidates to find a replacement. “The new coach will be foreign, with good qualifications and a monumental résumé like our current head coach of the men’s national futsal team,” the VFF member said, re...
Over the years, the Olympics have gained a reputation for monumental waste, with entire stadiums left to decay once the two-week sporting event concludes. However, Paris 2024 took a different approach, focusing on sustainability and reducing waste. Paris aimed to do things differently by utilizing temporary venues to minimize construction and encouraging suppliers to consider the “second life” of their equipment. This innovative mindset extended to even the most minor details, such as tennis balls and sand for beach volleyball. Georgina Grenon, the Paris 2024 sustainability director, shared their unique strategy in an interview with AFP. She explained that before ordering anything, they contemplated the post-Games purpose of each item. This approach is a first for a major global sports event, and even consultants hired by the team couldn’t find a similar precedent. The Paris Olympics involved 32 sports and approximately 10 million spectators. Grenon’s team created an inventory of ev...
