With this crazy recession coming along and messing up everyone’s shopping plan’s (even you Richies!) it’s more important than ever to look for recession specials. Sure, Gray’s Papaya has a tried and true one, but we want recession specials more of the sartorial kind.

Thus you can imagine the shock and cheap-chic lust that hit us when we laid eyes on these puppies. The Nat-2 shoes prepare your for a wary economy and precarious weather by transforming from shoes to sandals with the flick of a zip.

At first the Nat-2 seems to be an ordinary pair of canvas shoes you would find on any hipster. But when the temp starts to soar simply unzip the sole for a pair of sandals. That’s bang for your buck. Plus the canvas top will easily fold and slip into a bag. The Nat-2’s are available in more than twenty designs and set you back £59.99 or about $90.

Just one problem, of course. The Daily Mail reports that “the only place selling them in Britain is Wild Goose, in Twickenham, South-West London”.
