Adaptable Four-in-One Sneakers

Nextllen's Versatile Sneakers are Ideal for a Number of Occasions

Traditional versatile sneakers refer to models that hover a style boundary or have dualistic properties. The Nextllen, however, completely revolutionizes the conventional footwear silhouette. The multifunctional shoe is not like any other as it incorporates four different modes of wear into one.

Consumers can enjoy the versatile sneaker as a lifestyle shoe, a supportive sports companion, a sandal for hot days, as well as a slide-in slipper if preferred. The Nextllen relies on a design-forward construction that is ultra-light, extremely compact, breathable and adaptable to the foot. The versatile sneakers' silhouette can be folded at the heel, which makes the transformative properties possible. In addition, the Nextllen features a silicon bar made with durable anti-slip elastic that holds the foot in place during activities or when it is in sandal mode.

The Nextlen launch on Kickstarter on September 13th.
