Jeffrey Campbell has created yet another design that is uncanny unique.

The Los Angeles-based designer is known for unusual creations, but we must say these "floating shoes" are by far the most bizarre!

The $175 Upend (top) looks like the fraternal twin to the oxford and the $145 Float (bottom) could easily be related to a sling-back peep-toe sandal.

We can't quite figure out if Campbell was going for a wedge, dress shoe, sandal, or just some crazy mixture. But one thing's for sure, he did create something out of the ordinary.

What do U think of Campbell's "floating shoes?"

Adidas' signature three stripes are JUST as identifiable as Nike's swoosh, so OF COURSE they'd be pissed if another shoe rips off their symbol!

Adidas AG and Adidas America Inc. have filed a lawsuit against Big 5 Sporting Goods and World Industries for creating/distributing sneaks that bear “confusingly similar imitations of Adidas’ three-stripe mark.”

The athletic clothing MEGA brand is asking for both companies to be permanently enjoined from using their trademark stripes, that all footwear bearing the mark be destroyed, and they want monetary and punitive damages and legal fees.

DAMN. They are super for serious!

We're sure those small, California based companies are feeling Adidas' burn!

OMG YES!

Madonna will be starting a new footwear line under the new Truth or Dare label, which is owned by MG Icon.

The line will have more than 60 styles, including flats, heels, booties, over-the-knee boots and will retail anywhere from $89 - $349.

Her stylist Arianne Phillips will be a creative consultant on the collection.

Speaking about Madge's influence on the shoes, Phillips said:

"Her fingers are really on this brand. The first thing I did was remind her of all the shoes she wore over the years, and we took the styles that we can’t live without. You can always depend on her to bring her style and provocateur quality, but she also has a very feminine perspective."

We are super excited about this endeavor! We can't believe it's taken this long to get our queen to create a shoe line!

The collection will be available later this year.
