What possibilities do reversible material compounds offer for the design and use of footwear?
SEMBLE is a shoe concept that focuses on the interlocking of different elements and materials in reversible connections. Instead of a sole and an upper that are sewn or glued together, the shoe transforms into a combination of sole(s) and sock(s). Constructed in such a way that it can be easily disassembled and reassembled in new combinations, depending on our needs or preferences in terms of comfort, aesthetics, function or protection.
This not only avoids problems of shoe recycling, but also invites consumers to creatively redesign and adapt their shoes to their individual wishes and needs. Comfortable with good support during the day, elegant and refined at night. Airy and refreshing in summer, cosy and warm in winter.
