Walk into any skate shop, and you’ll see a plethora of shoes with every color under the sun. Blue, red, black, gray, green, all mixed together in a variety of high tops, low tops, slip ons, lace-ups and what have you. But walk into any skater’s house, and you’ll see that same variety of shoes, piled up on top of each other. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just mix all the elements together yourself and own fewer shoes? Urshuz makes that part a little easier for you.
Marketed as “modular shoes,” they’re available in a wide variety of styles and colors, marked for different types of events and purposes. Take a basic sole—in any color you want—and then select what types of shoes you need. That could range from flip flops to boots, all interchangeable and workable using the company’s “patented looping system.”
In a world of unlimited choice, the most popular shoe is… a white sneaker with gray sole. According to their web site, designer Grant Delgatty modeled the shoes after the beloved Legos: “Grant thought it would be cool if people could enjoy playing with options and being creative with their own shoes, just as he has been able to for the past fifteen years in his design work.
He wanted the consumer to have that same youthful feeling of inspiration and limitless possibility.” ( By An Xiao Mina from www.core77.com ) For more information watch the video below and pay a visita t the link after.
