Zip It Up

The +zip Series includes the +zip_shoe and +zip_cap, two very interesting designs that solve real problems. Let’s talk about the +zip_shoe first. This clever sneaker design has a zipped space in the sole, which integrates a shoe bag. The design makes packing shoes in your suitcase much easier and of course adds a spring to your step!

The +zip_cap has a zipper in the central crown area, that allows you to wear your ponytail with your cap at any height. A high bun, low at the nape or just a casual pony, any hair style will do.
