Originally, I thought that the Piet Mondrian was the name of the artwork itself (maybe I was just too ignorant or lacked enough research). Apparently, the name came from the renowned Dutch painter, Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondrian. His neo-plasticism movement gave birth to his series of artwork consisting of horizontal and vertical black grid lines with the random colors added and all in white canvas. The main inspiration for the shoes would be the 1921 piece 'Composition with red, yellow and blue' as the the colorway only revolved within those three colors. This pair was released in 2008. Photo below is not the actual painting but shows the same concept.
