You Can Change The Color Of These Sneakers Instantly So You Wouldn’t Wear The Same Shoes Twice

ADVERTISEMENT

Shiftwear aims to bring you the future early with their customizable, HD eInk-powered shoes. The shoes promise to (eventually) let you display animations and color images on the sides of your sneakers, all controlled through a mobile or desktop application. New York-based Shiftwear has already raised 128,560 USD, surpassing their 25,000 USD goal.

Hurdles remain, however. 2 million USD is necessary to produce the concept shoe shown in the promotional videos, as 25,000 is just to fund a prototype. If produced, Shiftwear promises that their shoes will be self-powered, 100% waterproof, have kevlar fiber soles, and come in 3 different styles. If all goes well, they will be available by mid 2016.

That's like my dream comming true! I always imagined dresses like that. A dress with different colours, patterns, styles and images programmed, so you can pick the one you're in the mood for that day.

I want a pair but I see you haven't sent out any shoes now and it's been over 5 years, when will they actually start going out? Ty
