Shoe sole only for crafting???

[jeshyr]

Does anybody have any idea what this photo is:



It looks to me like a pair of handmade crocheted sandal type shoes on a commercial type of flat shoe sole. If I squint at the sole I can sort of make out the word "Havaianas" which is indeed a brand of shoes but I can't find anything that resembles those anywhere on their website. Also had no luck with reverse image search through Google or Tineye.

I am imagining how cool it would to be able to buy a pair of shoe soles only and craft whatever I liked for uppers on them! It looks to me like these soles have holes all around the edge which would make it quite easy to attach uppers wherever suited you. Please somebody tell me this is a thing that exists...

I've bought from them before and they're quite nice.
