Creativity and originality are always in style. Designer Odessa has one of the most original and creative IG accounts on the platform right now.

@CreatingOdessa posts original designs for kicks but with a twist. They’re visibly made with outlandish materials.

You’ve heard of walking on clouds, but ever heard of cloud boots?

Crazy materials

Some are food-related like gummies, others are plant-related like faux grass. And still, others are made with unrecognizable tools and metal.

Most of his designs are placed over a pair of Air Force 1s and built up into nearly unrecognizable but still wearable art.

Odessa also designs pants in the same vein. He designed one shoe and pant combo with just Uno cards. One of the cards says “Creativity card.”

Pushing Fashion limits

Recent posts continue to push the limits by adding wheels from different items. This design incorporates a remote control racing car with coca-cola branded slides.

Some of his work is for the sake of just trolling. Which honestly can be the most engaging. You need a sense of humor with creativity. He’s even got relevant kicks for the epidemic era.

The rest of the account shows Odessa’s photoshop skills. With nostalgic nods to iconic media like Spy Kids and appreciation for spidey skills, the account is equal parts weird, cool and creative.

Engagement

Odessa also manages the CreatingOdessa account well by engaging with followers. Several posts encourage followers to select names or titles for the pieces, making it a collective creation in a small way.

Pushing the lengths to which art and fashion go with nostalgia and originality at its center, Odessa’s designs are worth the hype and honestly some of his designs are worth copping.

He gives let’s get this bread a different meaning altogether.

What’s your favorite Odessa Design? What would you call it? And what do you think CreatingOdessa should create next?
