What started off as a form exercise for Dewayne Dale resulted in a piece of footwear that looks like no other. The 3D Surprise shoe was created as a result of conceptualizing directly in 3D CAD software, rather than sketching first and building later. Harnessing the shape of the foot, building on the bones and muscles within, the 3D Surprise was envisioned as a new-age hiking boot with a design that was simple and sophisticated looking.
The shoe comes with an exaggerated protrusion detail for the ankle bone, and a textured sole that looks industrial and organic at the same time. Designer: Dewayne Dale. It had snuck…. Shoes that can tie your laces for you, that charge up a battery for you to charge your iPhone later You read that right. A consistent full charge is something we need. Nevertheless, who knew the answer would be in your shoe. A concept shoe was designed with a tiny battery in its sole, charging up bit by bit with every step we take.
This could be used to charge up small portable devices like your phone or your earphones. A simple concept that really solves a lot of problems. Laces loosening up while running can get irritating after a point and even screw up your routine. But someone's quick-trick just saved athletes a lot of trouble.
You tie this piece of plastic with your laces and pull it closer, let the magnets do its trick. Strictly stitched for runners, the pair looks like something out of a Transformer's movie. Built in spring and platform for extra grip on terrains and angled precisely well for knee-care. We all know how a spring works and how it absorbs pressure. Take a look above, it explains itself. A late night jog is something important for people who work around the clock yet prioritise health and fitness, also it's an incredibly serene vibe to run in the dark.
But with all the potholes, and streets filled with maniacs who won't see you running, just wearing a neon tee doesn't do much. So what you need are beamers--these lights on your shoe that shine you up so people can see you from a mile away.
The HyperAdapt also features a light in the heel that illuminates when the shoe is in a lace-tightening mode and when the battery power is low. Of course, if even laces that lace themselves are still too much extraneous material for your tastes, how about shoes with absolutely no laces at all? Instead, these shoes are secured to the feet using wrapping soles, made of a wrapping cloth not unlike those used in Japan to wrap flowers or boxed gifts. The soles wrap over and around the foot and are secured using a basic loop and hook system.
This, in combination with a special gripping system, helps the shoes to remain in place. The benefits of such a shoe include that it uses less material in its composition and is, consequently, more lightweight than standard shoes.
Rather than the form of the shoe determining the size of foot that can wear it, now the potential wearer is only limited by the size of the insole. The flexible material of the wrapping outsole stretches to fit and anatomically conform to any shape or size of foot. Returning once more to the promise of 3-D printing technology, the possibilities for shoe design are practically limitless.
But the possibilities extend far beyond merely 3-D printing standard footwear parts and components. Another 3-D technology that bears great promise for the footwear industry is 3-D scanning. With 3- D scanning technology people can be given the power to purchase the exact size of shoe that they need for each individual foot.
Everyone knows that footwear sizing is an approximate and inexact science and that every foot measures slightly differently. First, there were smartphones.
