3D print LED smart shoes don't use Duang

For our food and clothing, technology companies are also broken heart. For example, SOLS, a start-up in New York, feels that it's really too troublesome to buy shoes and try it out, so just print out a pair of shoes.

ADAPTIV is quite different from our common shoes. This concept product uses a system composed of gyroscopes and pressure sensors in its 3D print custom shell. So, ADAPTIV can be said to be a "smart" shoe that monitors the movements of the user and changes the pressure distribution inside the entire shoe to support the feet, the ankle, and the other parts of the worn body. For athletes, the shoes can help their physical activity better and improve their athletic performance through their adaptability.

What does the custom shoe look like? According to the release of the effect of the map, whether it is good - looking. The outside of the shoe is leather, but the leather is embedded with a motion sensor, and the ankle area will be loaded with a 3D - printed silica air bag that can support the strength by inflating and deflating. More impressive, the shoes are also equipped with color sensing cameras and RGB LED, which can change different colors according to the clothes of the wearer.

Although the insoles and shoes are printed, the market is very small, but SOLS is still recognized by the capital market. In January and April last year, SOLS received 1 million 750 thousand dollar angel financing from Lux Capital and $6 million 400 thousand A round investment by RRE Ventures and other joint investments. According to Recode news, Sols recently gained $11 million 100 thousand in financing, including former investment institutions Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and the newly added Tenaya Capital, Melo7 Tech Partners. What is interesting is that some of Melo7's funds have come from the NBA star "melon" Cameron Anthony, and the Dallas Mavericks' general manager Terdema Ussery has also announced its accession to the SOLS board. The first company that started in the medical field seemed to want to enter the sports market by the name of NBA.
