Electrifying Footwear Accessories

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Red Lightning Bolt Shwings Personalize Shoes

— August 16, 2013 — Fashion
Kids can channel their inner Flash Gordon with the Red Lightning Bolt Shwings. A different take on the Hermes-inspired version, these ones are a lot more electrifying. In fact, instead of using these to portray the superhero, kids could use them for the villain while the wings can be considered the good guy.

Available online at the Neatoshop, the Red Lightning Bolt Shwings essentially attach to people's shoelaces, resting to the sides of the footwear involved. Although they are certainly more suitable for children, the Shwings can also fit adult shoes. Sold in pairs, they will help to personalize existing shoe designs. Some may even mistake them for a pair of eccentric Jeremy Scott designs done exclusively for adidas.
