ZOO SHOES

Hope your having a lovely Thursday
I was so excited as soon as the first bundle of YEAH magazines hit my door mat this morning, I quickly grabbed the top copy and had a good old read. The magazines will be available online later today but I couldn’t wait to share with you this amazing feature.
The Zoo Shoe is a fab idea that has been awarded a bursary from Enterprise Inc, an initiative in the East Midlands designed to encourage and support students who want to develop enterprising ideas into businesses.

‘THE IDEA is a shoe with an interchangeable upper or 'skin' which is separate to the sole and tongue. The Zoo Skin would be ‘open source’, whereby anyone can contribute their design, resulting in a collaborative experience that aims to showcase new and emerging talent. The skins attach onto the sole of the shoe using a zip that would run around the back of the sole. The skins would be sold separately from the soles so that the wearer can change the appearance of their shoes cheaply and easily.’


Now sustainability is present here as it means you buy less sneakers and the uppers are posted flat so there’s very little packaging needed but I must admit I am more excited with how damn cool they are.
These flowery ones are by far my favourite… I really want them. Hopefully they will be available soon

Bye for now x
