| Creo Shoe by Jennifer Rieker |
"Called the "Creo Shoe Concept," the flat-pack footwear is mailed to you in a vegetable-tanned calf leather envelope -- which becomes the inner shoe -- with adaptable rubber soles; a pair of footbeds, made out of cork, latex and jute; a pair of shoelaces, and directions for you to put it all together, along with the help of a local shoemaker."
A local shoemaker sews the inner shoe together for your assembly. Jennifer Rieker hopes this initial introduction will encourage shoe repair rather than full-fledged replacement. And with replacement eventually inevitable, the shoe's unique composition allows for a simple parts-based replacement.
Equally exciting, the shoe is constructed of renewable and recyclable materials, and is free of glue!
Cheers to Jennifer Reiker; on not only her completely innovative Creo Shoe Concept but her other unique designs as well.
