"My obsessive-compulsive disorder has been very helpful in the development of the Floris van Bommel brand. Whenever I've come up with something that I find funny or original, I'll do ANYTHING to see it made. Sometimes against my better judgement, sometimes involving considerable risk. It's a bit like suffering from Tourette's, but with ideas. Does a grin appear on my face when I have an idea? Bang! On a shoe with it! Or in a campaign! The result: In all the years, things have never gotten boring. This is why this pattern ended up on the sole of this shoe... A rather dry play on words (from a fellow designer!) that gets even drier because of the beautiful graphic finish. No doubt, of course... top priority! Let's quickly make that sole! As far as I'm concerned, the feelers take care of the rest."
