Like the idea of being able to customise your shoes at the push of a button? Well, ShiftWear sneakers allow you to do just that.

Using the ShiftWear app, you can connect to your shoes (available in high, medium and low tops) and change the images displayed straight from your phone. ShiftWear shoes are able to display both static and animated images.

The sneakers are waterproof, machine washable and feature soles coated with Kevlar Fibres to reduce wear and tear. The batteries recharge with every step.

ShiftWear sneakers are available for pre-order via indiegogo.com.

A collaborative project between architect Clara da Cruz Almeida of Collaborate000 and interior and product designers Dokter + Misses was just launched at Sanlam Handmade Contemporary FoodWineDesign Fair in Joburg.

Locally designed and manufactured, the iDladla / lifePOD is a “modular, prefabricated nano-home” designed to challenge existing outlooks on urban and sustainable living solutions in Southern Africa.

The idea behind this compact 17sqm structure is that it will use minimal resources (thereby lowering costs) and create a convenient, comfortable and functional space for homeowners.

While each singular unit can be customised to the individual homeowner’s specifications, due to its modular nature, it’s also possible to combine more than one unit to create a larger property.

While the cost of a unit hasn’t been finalised yet, the team currently estimates that it could cost between R200 000 and R700 000 per unit.
