Over-the-Knee Chucks

From Lorain Blanken, About.com

These were handcrafted after the artist saw a pair of tall Chucks, but wanted hers over the knee. She couldn't find any, so she made her own pair.

From the Artist: "Like many people who listen to rock/metal/punk/..., I fell in love with chucks. Last summer I've seen knee high chucks in a movie and couldn't stop dreaming about it. I went to Portland, L.A., looked all over Germany, but nobody had any over-knee chucks! They just didn't exist! One day I went into a store and saw those cute black fake chucks and just bougth them. I got some fabric, 2 pairs of ties and lots lots lots of those ring thingies. From that day on, I worked for 2 weeks every fucking day (even though I've never sewen before), sew till my fingers were bleeding but finally finished them, my over knee chucks. The next day in school, people I didn't even know came up to me, telling me how cool my shoes are. Bad thing is the fact that I need 15 min to put them on, but I guess I can deal with it."
