  • In this interesting and provocative talk, famous shoe designer, Etu Evans, explains the power, process, politics and price of shoes.
    Etu Evans, is a celebrity shoe & accessories designer, style correspondent, and Founder of the Solesville Foundation; a global initiative which provides shoes and advocacy for victims
    of sexual abuse and trafficking. The New York Daily states "He’s one of the hottest shoe designers in the business and has turned the world upside down on its stiletto heel. Beyoncé bounces in his footwear, Tyra Banks says she’s a fan and Lil Kim strapped on some boots for a
    sexy photo shoot.” Footwear News has hailed Etu and his purple bottoms as, “the Prince of luxe footwear.” Evans’ designs have graced the pages of German Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Essence, GQ, In Style, Ebony (30 Leaders of The Future) and Black Enterprise. His designs have adorned Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Queen Latifah, Cynthia Bailey, Michael B. Jordan and John Singleton, just to name a few. He is the Creative Director of Harlem World Magazine and host of The Republic of Style podcast. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Shoes reflect personality, demeanor, and class. The FOOTSTEPS we leave behind last forever. Thank you for a different perspective on this thing we call life Mr. Etu Evans.

    This man has been an inspiration to me since I met him in Harlem NY. Just a barber on my daily grind and he stepped into the shop. He intelligent, patient, trustworthy, fashionable, and smooth. Etu, I'm not surprised. A job well done. Confidence portrayed. Again I have learned something new about what you do and the history of what you know of the power shoes. I applaud you my dude! A blessing to this earth. 🙏💪🏾

    Etu Evans is brilliant in his ability to teach others how shoes do more than protect your feet, they protect our legacies. Everyone who sees this will never look at their shoes or their footprints that their shoes leave behind the same way again.

    “Shoes are the diary of our lives, captured in real time, step by step by step”. Love it! Great stories and analogies how shoes are a symbol and play an important role in our lives. We stand on them and they move us to where we want to go. Great tie-in to making footprints for others to follow. Good to think about and keep aware of!

    Adwoa
    Maximum Effect
    You took a simple object as the shoe and made it complex; yet simplified it to the point where we had to dive deep into our souls to question our motive and objectives as we journey through this ephemeral path called life. The effect of your message was whether we were purposefully executing the mandate that has been bestowed upon each of us as we serve humanity. Our eternal destiny will determine the ultimate price we paid for the souls 'soles' we preserved or...
    Assolutamente fantastico!!!

    So interesting and thought provoking. I have always designed my own cowboy boots using hand dyed python and crocodile skins. Designed each boot then sent to my boot man in El Paso Tx. Favorite color layout was turquoise and yellow. A real true professional and classy production.
