Threads: Softgoods, Modular systems

The idea was one shoe that works all year. Four uppers, one for each season, all fitting the same sole. Wool for winter, recycled sail cloth for spring, an open slide for summer and rubber for fall.

Each upper comes with its own footbed. The footbed slides into the sole and a strap over the toe holds it all together. When something wears out or breaks, you only replace that part instead of the whole shoe.

Everything is made from recycled materials: wool, sail cloth, rubber, nylon webbing and cork, with anodized aluminum hardware. It never got past renders and sketches. There's no physical model yet.
