The 'Walk Of Mind' shoes are a distinct footwear style that merges high-tech capabilities with the ergonomic needs of a wearer. The shoes feature a lightweight design that is achieved with a wrapped aesthetic which doesn't have the usual thick sole or heavy components traditionally found in modern footwear. Instead, the shoe is achieved with a leather wraparound piece along with an SLS 3D-printed nylon sole to offer added support for the wearer.
The 'Walk Of Mind' shoes are the design work of Hadar Slassi and are the winner of the 2020 A’ Design Award. The pebbled outsole design of the shoes help to further alleviate the pressure that can be placed on the foot when walking to help stave off feelings of fatigue.
