Description
This light weight dark design insurers comfort and longevity. This product is made for change and meant to be reborn, rethinking outerwear and it's after life. The sock like upper ensures comfort its cinch and toggle design at the top allows for adjustability. And using a strong silicone crampon design for extreme weathers paired with a strong durable outsole reminds us to rethink how we tie of shoes and go hiking in rugged terrain.

Innovation
This comfortable model is designed for outdoor sports specifically hiking and tent camping. The models lightweight upper is supposed to resemble the comfort of a sock or lightweight house shoe. Paired with a intense stacked hiking soul to ensure grip. The "Crampon" acts as a mechanism securing this lightweight design to a sturdy soul. Allowing the upper not to be secured by stitching or glue this allows a new innovative design to construct and deconstruct shoes but also change out soles when needed or after damage or wear.

Product Detail
This product is a comfortable lightweight upper made out of a elastic stretchy yarn. The shoe is secured by a toggle and cinch at the top and a stretchy silicone "Crampon" on across the toe and heel. This piece connects the upper to the sole. The sole is a combination of a running and hiking send it down to fit together to create a unique design that allows the leasing system to the "Crampons" to pass in and out of the sole.

Specification
This is a unisex model made for comfort and lightweight upper. This product would ideally be made in multiple colors but this model is a dark grey upper with white and black accents and a black sole.
