'Forando Footwear' is producing the world's only pair of sneakers that contain custom carbon inserts. Although shoe companies are constantly experimenting with new materials and innovative designs, none have developed a stylish carbon fiber shoe.
Forando Footwear is a luxury brand that designs high-quality footwear. The brand specializes in producing unisex shoes made from carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is an ideal construction material because it is light, resistant to abrasions and waterpoof. The soft carbon fiber inserts on the inside also help to protect the shoes from foot odor. Carbon fiber even helps to enhance the overall look of the shoes by giving them a multidimensional effect.
The company is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to produce two unique styles of the carbon fiber shoes.
