ShiftWear Sneakers
The trendy Shiftwear sneaker features flexible color displays that allow the shoe to be easily redesigned... You can install both color and monochrome, as well as animated or static images through mobile applications.
You can change on the go at any time, as soon as the owner of this original sports shoe wants it. The batteries that power the shoe's screen can be charged with kinetic energy while walking. Undoubtedly, Shiftwear sneakers are a breakthrough in the fashion world and so far no analogues of these products have been developed.
Flexible screens and energy consumption
Flexible e-ink screens allow you to instantly fit any image you like onto your sneaker. E-Ink panels allow you to change the style of shoes regardless of the color of the image or its format.
When choosing a standard static design, the displays consume very little power, which will also be replenished during running or normal walking, but despite this, these revolutionary sneaker models will still support wireless charging technology.
According to manufacturers, e-ink is more economical when the backlight is off, so the sneakers will last for about a month in standard mode. With the backlight on, more energy will be consumed, but on the sneakers all the details of the chosen style will be perfectly visible even in the dark.
Wear resistance
The Shiftwear sneakers are planned to be quite wear-resistant, however, everything will depend on the mode of their use. For higher wear resistance, the soles of this high-tech shoe are planned to be covered with Kevlar fiber.
Because Kevlar is part of the components that make up body armor, the soles of Shiftwear smart sneakers promise to be as durable and durable as possible. The electronic components of Shiftwear sneakers are designed to be quite durable and bend-resistant.
ShiftWear guarantees full water resistance, which will not only allow you to put on your sneakers in any weather, but even wash them in an automatic machine!
Synchronization with a smartphone
The Shiftwear sneakers will be controlled using a special application installed on a smartphone or tablet with an operating system:
- IOS;
- Windows;
- Android.
The app for Shiftwear footwear models still needs some work, but the manufacturers promise both ready-made standard templates for sneakers, and the ability to create your own unique images that you can share with friends or sell. The project manager plans to establish a specialized trading platform where it will be easy to buy the style you like.
Thanks to the wide range of possibilities for creating a unique style, Shiftwear shoes can be combined with clothes of any color, which will undoubtedly delight customers.
When to expect the first models?
Fundraising for the futuristic start-up Shiftwear was held on the official website of the Indiegogo brand. Developers of a unique shoe asked for 25 thousand dollars for the development of the project, but according to various sources, at least 250 thousand dollars will be required to implement all plans and original ideas, while only 37.5 thousand dollars were collected.
Battery technology will only be able to be introduced after the $ 2 million mark, and waterproof and sensitive displays will only be able to raise at least $ 4 million. It is not known whether the project has collected all the necessary funds, it is only known that the buyers were promised the release of the first models in September, and then in December 2016, which never happened.
On the official website, pre-orders and “sold” marks were set on some of the fantastic sneakers, but on the streets of the cities, fashionistas in such shoes have not yet met and consumers are still waiting for the release of the first models of Shiftwear sneakers.
The cost of the first models
Today, on the official website of the Shiftwear company, it is possible to pre-order design changing sneakers using smartphones and tablets with low, medium or high tops.... The declared cost of the sneakers at $ 250 promises to increase significantly with the start of their production, so the company's representatives advise to place orders on their website right now so as not to overpay later.
According to various sources, with the start of mass production and release of Shiftwear sneakers, their cost will start from $ 250 to $ 1000, depending on the characteristics of the shoe, for example, they promise to produce models whose displays will be designed for black and white or color images only, with backlight function or without it. However, the exact release date is still unknown.
