This isn’t a tribute. It’s a resurrection.

The Wizard of Oz Cover Slip-On Shoes bring back the original 1900 cover of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz—etched in bone-pale ink against midnight-black canvas, like a dream remembered backwards. The title looms large in that bold, antiquarian typeface, the kind that once promised flying houses and deadly slippers. Below it, the original illustrations by W.W. Denslow: Scarecrow, Tin Man, Dorothy, and Lion—still wide-eyed, still hopeful, still strange.

But this isn’t Kansas anymore. This is a printed séance.

Gone are the Technicolor illusions. These shoes are monochrome on purpose. They speak not of rainbows, but of the dust before the storm. They wear like the cover of a book too precious to open. Each panel is mirrored, as if you're stepping into a folktale and walking out the other side… changed.

Wonders Whispered About These Wares

Powers Bestowed Upon the Possessor

Typographic Authority – The power to speak like you were written by someone wiser and long dead.
First Edition Resolve – Persevere like the earliest print: uncorrected, unedited, beloved in its imperfection.
Ink-Tethered Wanderlust – Find strange roads home… or don’t. Some stories end mid-sentence.

Jaded Lament Discovery Note

According to the Lament Archive (specifically, the shelf labeled "Forgotten Roads & Remembered Spells"), these shoes were salvaged from the floorboards of a long-abandoned Kansas farmhouse. Alongside them: a tin lion, a cracked compass, and a journal filled with tornado warnings and unfinished spells. Scrawled in the margin of the final page: She never made it back.

Why the Laments Loved This Artifact

Because stories are spells. Because the first edition is always the truest—and the most haunted. The Laments adored this design for its reverence and restraint. For how it framed the familiar not as childhood, but as artifact. These aren’t the shoes Dorothy wore—they’re the ones she never got the chance to.

• Quiet reverence
• Faded wonder
• Hardcover haunting

These Vibes Shall Be the Emanation

These slip-ons are emblazoned with the cover art of the 1900 first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz—drawn in crisp, ghostly monochrome, as though printed on the back of a spell. The mirrored design repeats like a liturgical refrain. It's not a journey—it’s an invocation. You can feel the press of the original typeset against the toes, the quiet weight of a turn-of-the-century promise: There’s no place like home—if you can still find it.

Hymns to Strengthen Thy Enchanted Relic

Lend Thine Ear, Fortify Thy Powers. Invoke these chants whilst donning thy wares, that the enchantment might seep deeper into thy bones.

(1) "Open Book" – José González
Tender, sparse, and steeped in paper and longing—a melody for printed pages and unwritten endings.

(2) "Kansas" – Damien Jurado
A hymn to wide skies and vanishing directions—Oz’s ghost flickering behind a veil of folk.

(3) "Don’t Swallow the Cap" – The National
Literary melancholy with rhythm—perfect for those who walk with the weight of stories in their steps.

(4) "A Better Son/Daughter" – Rilo Kiley
Epic, emotional whiplash—a storm of becoming, unraveling, and maybe going home.

(5) "This Tornado Loves You" – Neko Case
Wild, haunting, chasing something across a landscape that may or may not exist.

This mix captures printed myth, weathered wonder, slow-burning nostalgia, and the quiet thrill of following strange roads.

    Some parcels may arrive separately—such is the nature of enchanted logistics.
