Two Ways To Wear A Sneaker
Show of hands who have shoved their feet into their sneaker quickly, thus creasing the heel turning them into mules? It can’t only just be me because Sofie Collin’s research into the Nike brand revealed it’s something people, particularly women want.
Her sneaker design has a collapsaeble heel and no laces. Wear it like any other sneaker but when you need a quick change, fold down the heel without damaging the shoe. It fulfills the needs of women who want to retain the sporting aesthetic famous to the house of Nike all the while staying relevantly fashionable.

Yes. But do they come in purple?!
Timerland has actually produced shoes like these. Unforunately I own them somehow (they’re awfully ugly). As a closet sneakerhead I would love to see Nike come out with these.
yeah Puma did this a couple years ago too
Yep,
Salomon footwear did it 7 years ago for the first time on a footwear called TechAmphibian.
The french outdoor company owns a patent on this so called “collapsable heel”.
hah!nice!we did that in iran very yaers ago!
well, despite the idea having been done already (many times apparently) there’s still a lot to be said about this design. I think it’s a perfect branding of Nike’s aesthetic, matching elements of the older lines (AF1’s and Hoops for example) with new trends like tight patterned perforation and smooth artificial surfaces. I especially like that the functional crease of the convertible heel follows the upper edge of that oh-so-iconic Nike stripe. I think the choices regarding color are appropriate, and accent colors (green in this case) are easily modify-able to a diverse range of colors without looking bad. And above all else, I think the two shape options for the shoe both look nice and balanced in and of themselves, yet create a refreshingly different feel from one to the next.
Bunu bizden çalmışlar yahu. Arkasına basılmış (isteğe bağlı yumurta topuklu) ayakkabılar Türkiyeye ve Yakın-Orta Doğuya ( İran, Irak, Suriye) özgü bir davranış biçiminin sonucudur. Günümüzde bakkala, pazara, manava oraya buraya gidilirken üşengeçlik edilmesi, geçmişte ise köylük kasabalık yerde birbirine yakın mesafelere gitmek sırasında ayakkabı giymek üşengeçliğin ürünüdür..
What would be the cost of the Sneakers with Collapsible heels?
