Jennifer Rieker is testing the love and devotion of sneakerheads with her new Creo Shoe Concept. The Creo Shoe Concept is a conceptual DIY shoe kit. People who buy the Creo Shoe would be sent a package containing detailed instructions and all the materials needed to self-assemble their own shoe.
The Creo Shoe Concept is great because it could potentially eliminate third world shoe factories, which should drive down the costs of shoes. I'm all for cheaper shoes, even if it does mean learning to sew.
