Created by a seven-person Lithuanian startup callediShüu Tech, and originally the brainchild of display technology research scientistWallen Mphepö, these high-tech pumps are digital chameleons for your fancy feet. They're made of leather and rubber and outfitted with hidden circuitboard, Bluetooth and battery components. And, here's the kicker, they're pimped out with electronic (e-ink) "paper" that you control with a companion app, altering the look of the flexible digital panel that spans from the top of the toes on up the sides of the pumps.
Depending on what your outfit calls for, or your mood, you can switch the Volvorii's smart display panel from black to white to a chic Louis Vuitton-inspired black and white pattern. Its ambitious makers, who think they "just might be on the verge of creating a new micro industry for the world," plan to add more cool pattern choices in the future.
Available in black or white, soft leather-lined Volvorii also come in two tall heel heights, 3.5 inches and 4.5 inches. The battery that powers the display recharges via an included USB wireless charger and takes about two hours to fully juice from zero.
