Jimmy Choo-Sculpture

This charming steel-rod sculpture, located on Lebuh Leith, pays homage to the world-famous shoe designer, Dato' Jimmy Choo, who was born in Penang. Part of the "Marking George Town" street art project, the sculpture humorously depicts a young Choo as an apprentice, looking wistfully at a high-heeled shoe, with a sign that reads "No more walking, for you I will make shoes." This artwork is significant because it marks the spot where Choo began his craft, learning the art of shoemaking from his father. It serves as an inspiring reminder of a global icon's humble beginnings in the heart of George Town, adding another layer to the rich tapestry of stories embedded in the city's streets. The sculpture is a popular photo spot for tourists and fashion enthusiasts alike.
