The Last Shoe You Will Ever Own
It seems we’re only just beginning to see the potential of e-ink. Its broadest usage is, of course, in e-readers; then there’s the Pebble smart watch, the e-ink YotaPhone, the e-ink multi-card, even e-ink pricing tags for supermarket displays. But it also has strong potential in fashion — especially since the invention of flexible e-paper. ake the Volvorii Timeless peep-toe heels, created by new Lithuania-based startup iShüu Technologies. The shoes come in both black and white, and it can be customised to a variety of patterned outfits thanks to a flexible e-ink display that is integrated into the shoe’s upper. The shoe can be programed to display an design but taking a step further, even color can be added so that it really does match any outfit. It would even be more awesome if it would be control with a mobile application. The best part is that e-ink require so little power that it needs to be charged every few weeks at most.
