Last weekend I had a short “Foraging” piece in the NYT about Zeha Berlin, a brand of shoes which were popular in the German Democratic Republic. Wacky yet cool, modern Zehas are where global sneaker culture meets Ostalgie, the nostalgia for Communist stuff in Germany and the former Soviet bloc countries of central and eastern Europe.
This is the kind of article where you can type as much as you want, but it’s the pictures that tell the story. Only one of my photos ran with the piece in the online version, so I’m posting a couple of leftovers here to show you what you’re missing.
