THE GOD OF GREEK SANDALS
Down on the sunny southern slope of the Acropolis, away from the drama on Mount Olympus, you’ll find Pantelis Melissinos, Greek God of Sandals. His buddies just call him Pantelis.
Forget Hermes and his pranks or Dionysus and his party antics – Pantelis is all about fashioning divine kicks for today’s legends, earning him the moniker of the “Poet Sandal Maker to The Stars”. He’s also an artist and poet? Yeah, he’s basically the whole creative package.
Pantelis -in his legendary workshop filled with his artworks- is whipping up sandal masterpieces, turning the finest calf leathers from Crete into legendary sandals of exceptional designs and top-notch quality. He’s got a sandal for every foot’s fantasy. Sultry “Gladiators”, elegant slingbacks, comfy thongs, and oh, those leg-wrapping numbers that make you look like a hunting goddess – Despite some biblical objections regarding his making gods strutting around in sexy models originally meant for Aphrodite or Artemis, he insists that his creations are a celebration of self-expression, comfort, style, and divine fluidity. Let non-Olympians gossip!
In a rare moment between thunderbolts and godly chores, Zeus, the daddy of Greek gods, crowned Pantelis as God of Greek Sandals. And, let me tell you, Pantelis is leaving a legacy in Greek mythology that’s straight-up genius, cool as heck, and eternally chic.
