Apex Predator, funny name!

Animalistic take on the classic Oxford shoe with this macabre and sartorial Apex Predator.
They were made in 2010 by artists Mariana Fantich and Dominic Young of fantich&Young and each shoe features a sole made from 1,050 denture teeth. No, they’re not actual teeth, thank goodness. We particularly like the gold teeth towards the front. So why, exactly, do they exist? Well, they’re art, right? And the explanation goes something like this:
Apex predators are predators with no predators of their own, residing at the top of their food chain.
