Entry Description

This futuristic sneaker concept reimagines human mobility, inspired by The Matrix - the film that first defined what "futuristic" means to me. The movie's core idea of transforming between worlds made me question: in a world where we can transform between realities, why should our movement remain constrained by conventional limitations? These aren't just shoes - they're mobility interfaces for the future.

Developed during a MasterClass with Steven Smith, the Godfather of Dad Shoes, this design pushes beyond conventional footwear boundaries to explore radical new forms of movement.
