The ARMO Exchangeable shoes behave almost like furniture. Like any piece of furniture you would buy at IKEA, these shoes need to be assembled which means you can customize and transform them to your liking.
These shoes are so compact-able that customers receive them in an envelope! Designed by Rodrigo Alonso, ARMO Exchangeable shoes are not only cool, but also ethical. Another bonus of these unique shoes is that they are made under fair trade practices.
Implications - Now that we live in a day and age where many consumers have been able to customize, edit, and alter aspects of their wardrobe, technology, and meals, this is a logical next step in the shoe game.
