'zipflop' by ron arad for fitflop

british-based biomechanical footwear brand fitflop presents a new shoe 'zipflop' designed by london-based designer ron arad.
the covering is formed with two panels that fasten together to create a leather silhouette. the zipper gives the user the ability to personalize the item,
allowing one to close or loosen the separate wings with different colors. found inside is the company's ergonomic microwobbleboard midsole that
provides a shock-absorbing heel strike, a soft center-foot platform and a firmer density toe off. its technology has been reported to enhance
muscle loading and give relief from heel spurs, chronic back pain, osteoarthritis and restless leg syndrome.

the side panels can be easily interchanged via the zippers with different colors

Reaching to justify something goofy.
why are they showing them if they are not available?
as with much of his work, VERY interesting – a complete re-thinking of a very basic item
I’d like to try a pair on
btw… who says they’re not available?
How is the sole attached to the side panels? I only see half a zipper.
