The Inspiration

To empower anyone to be an artist and express themselves through technology. The company (ShiftWear) intention was to let people to have their own customized product suited to their personal preferences, without the current limitations which exist in the market.

How It Works

Put e-paper* displays on both sides of sneakers and let users’ and designers’ creative juices flow. Changing what’s on display is as easy as changing your smartphone’s wallpaper, using a smartphone app to let users select their desired design, either of their own making or from a marketplace. The built-in batteries will last up to 30 days, depending on the type of visuals you display.

Not only can you be up-to-date with current fashion or making your own fashion statement, you could earn money simply by being a walking advertisement ‘panel’ in the future.

* E-paper or e-ink is a great technology for low-power screens that are also eye-friendly because of how little energy they consume to maintain the image currently on their display. The Gif attachment shows how the design changes on the shoe itself.
