What if Statement
What if there was a pair of shoes that revolutionizes daily wear, customizations, and minimizes waste?

Project Description
The mechanics of the MorphoSole shoes include shapeshifting features, nanotechnology, and app functionality/customizations. They are meant to be durable, stain and liquid repellant using nanotech fabric, odor controlled, app-controlled, re-chargeable and conforms to every pair of feet. While this artifact will be displayed in a fashion-centered style, the MorphoSole shoes can be worn in any way beyond a variety of heels. These features mean that they function at any environment, worn by anyone.
