Evisu Shoos in Dusseldorf Germany created a line of changeable shoe designs which were presented at the autumn/winter 2008/09 collection during the international event for shoes & accessories held in Düsseldorf from March 14 to 16 , 2008.
The sneakers were designed to allow for the skins on the sides of the shoes to be snapped on and off in order to alternate between different design styles. As shown in the photos, the same pair of shoes can take on many different personalities thereby stretching their wearability much further.
This is a very clever idea.
