United Nude (CLOSED)

Launched in 2003 by Dutch architect Rem D. Koolhaas and British shoemaker Galahad Clark, this superstructural (yet übercomfortable) women’s shoe line added an NYC flagship to its roster of stores in May 2010 (the brand is sold in 35 countries across the globe). The shoes glow against a floor-to-ceiling wall of lit boxes, each containing a different pair of kicks. Highlights include striped booties ($185), sandals with heels jutting out from the center of the shoe ($275) and cutout wedges ($235).
