Not Vans

Type: forest | Origin: Ancillary Attachmerch
PROBLEM

Shoes are not modular enough.

SOLUTION
A modular shoe platform built on the UNI Sole standard. Swap soles, attach devices, harvest energy from your own footsteps. Your feet are no longer just transportation. They are infrastructure.

    "solution": "Hooves is a modular shoe system that allows you to attach different soles and devices to your shoes. Each Hooves unit interfaces with the foot via a UNI Sole \u2014 a low-profile piezoelectric mounting plate embedded in the midsole that simultaneously harvests kinetic energy from each footstrike and provides a universal attachment surface for any compatible sole module or device. The UNI Sole converts the mechanical stress of ambulation into usable charge via crystalline lattice compression at the molecular level, storing it in a flexible graphene supercapacitor woven into the insole. Walk. Power up. Attach anything.",
