United Nude, the fashion company of Rem D Koolhaas (no, that Rem's nephew), has announced the limited edition Nova Shoe, designed by Zaha Hadid.

The two set out to "ignore all the rules to create an entirely new form of shoe," and succeeded with a "tiny sculpture" executed in metallic chromed vinyl rubber. Three colors will be sold in small batches of 100 each for 2000 USD. This is not the first shoe collaboration for Hadid; in 2008 she designed a rubber high heel for Melissa, as well as a limited edition boot for Lacoste.
