Buying shoes can be an expensive hobby, especially if you’re really particular about matching your shoes with the rest of your outfit, and if you’re concerned about having a certain look for a certain time. However what if you could have one pair of shoes that could change its look whenever you felt like it, is that something you would be interested in?
If you are, there is an Indiegogo campaign for a pair of shoes dubbed ShiftWear. Basically these are a pair of shoes that comes with a flexible e-paper display wrapped around it. This will allow the shoes to change its design whenever you like. Of course by design we mean the graphic design on the sides of the shoe, and not how it can transform from a pair of sneakers to a pair of Oxfords.
The display is also waterproof up to 5 meters, so if you do get it wet, fret not as it should not have any long-lasting damage. It also means that for sneaker fans, you can wash the shoes whenever you feel like it, and it is also machine washable for those of you who are extra meticulous in your shoe-cleaning routine.
The shoes will also feature wireless charging technology and will pair with your smartphone, thus allowing you to swap designs on the go. We have to admit that we love the idea and if you’d like to check it out and maybe pledge to its campaign, then head on over to its Indiegogo page for the details.
