Everyone has seen them and likely worn them at some point in their life. Inevidebly like with most things they reach the end of their life, are no longer in fashion, don’t fit anymore or no longer fits the need and have to be discarded. What if instead you could keep the fit but change everything else about them?


What’s the challenge?


  • When shopping for flip-flops you never seem to find that exact pair you want. When you do, they grow on you and you never want to get rid of them even though you should. What if you could make the ones you’ve always wanted and simply keep refreshing the parts that go bad?


How does this innovation help?


  • These new modular flip flops allow you to customize very part of the flip or the flop.  And if you can’t find exactly what you want, you can 3d print it using a variety of materials. The only limit to the design is your imagination. Mix and match different licensed modules.  Do you like the air capsule from Nike, or the banding from adidas, no problem buy those two modules and slide them together.  You’ll get the cushion from air you’re looking for with the style only adidas can provide.  Maybe the environment is more your focus.  Now you can get 100% recycled soles for your flip flops in different tread patterns. Maybe you feel like you need a gel filled foot pad - no problem, just get that from the dr shoals partner site.  Remember, all of the pieces just fit together. Finally, are you thong or slip in sort of foot fitter?  No need to decide, you can be both.  There is a module for that as well.  A combination or patented “tight fit” connectors and micro Velcro easily fit the pieces together for as long as you need them to be together.
