NSFW by House No 3028
#NSFW by House of 3028 is the creation of entrepreneur Thressa Pine-Smith. Thressa studied fashion at the Art Institute of San Francisco, and has nine years of experience in the fashion world. House of 3028 is based out of Oakland, California and currently offers 2, 3 and 4 inch pumps (with the 4 inch pumps available for pre-sale). Thressa Pine-Smith developed her range to address the absence of representation for women of color in the shoe market. House of 3028 shoes cater exclusively to women of color in multiple shades of brown and their goal is to create a sense of comfort and pride in ’embracing one’s beauty & individuality’. The pumps are available in 6 different hues, and they have been created with comfort in mind – these shoes are supposed to be shoes you can wear to the office without the pain that normally goes with wearing pumps for extended periods.
The shoes (called ‘The Nu’) themselves are actually synthetic with memory foam padding. Prices for the shoes start at $75USD (quite reasonable for a brown girl’s nude), and boy do these look shiny-patenty-pretty. House No. 3028 delivers these shoes internationally, so women of color outside of the USA and UK can finally get in on the fashion action.
