Navigation City Slippers

by: Taly Weiss October 25, 2008

Defined as ‘The Modern Galosh’ by creator Johan R, these City slippers are the product of Johan’s nostalgic feelings towards galoshes from his youth. Due to the damages caused to footwear by slushy streets and rainfall, he decided to develop a modern and stylish solution for protecting your shoes and came up with the SWIMS. Made of waterproof material in various colors, you simply slip them on to whichever shoe your wearing and have full protection from mud, rain and any other muck you run into. The best part? There’s a map of either Tokyo, Paris or New York underneath each slipper (depends where you purchase it). This new trend for protecting your shoes (see the smart heel protector) has incorporated yet another anticipated trend: navigation on your feet. Logically, since your shoes take you where you need to go, why not insert a map that will help you get there?
