Sneaker-Stored Tents

The Walking Shelter by Gorman Transforms into a Tent That's Worn

— July 31, 2013 — Fashion
A tent is traditionally a piece of camping equipment that you set up and sleep inside, but the Walking Shelter by Gorman is conveniently stored within a pair of sneakers and opens in such a manner to make it worn. A little bit on the outlandish side, the Walking Shelter by Gorman is actually an innovative solution for the camper who needs an economical method to sleep outside after a day of hiking.

The Walking Shelter by Gorman can be customized to foster a variety of sleeping positions, but the lack of structural support can leave the design falling flat. When it's not in use, the Walking Shelter by Gorman can be folded down and slipped into the side of a pair of shoes to keep things organized and efficient.
Trend Themes
1. Portable Camping Solutions - The development of portable camping solutions that are compact, efficient and easily packable can tap into a niche market and facilitate outdoor activities.

3. Customizable Outdoor Gear - Customizable outdoor gear can enhance outdoor experiences and tap into the desire for unique and personalized products.
