Paper Light Shoes Posted: 15 Dec 2014 09:58 AM PST No canvas… no leather… just paper! The winner of a design contest sponsored by Teach for America and the U.T. LAB, the Lopez shoe by Christian Lopez features graffiti-inspired graphics on the brand’s Light Wing Franklin LT, Franklin HT, and Trainer models. The super-lightweight shoes are made from paper-like Tyvek, a material often found in mailers and house wrap. Combined with a poliyou insole and EVA foam rubber outsole, it’s durable waterproof, washable and impossibly light at just 1 pound per pair!

Airbags of a Different Kind Posted: 15 Dec 2014 07:43 AM PST It's futile to ask how many of you have been victims to airline staff manhandling your luggage that result in damaged bags or broken stuff. I'm sure there are plenty of you out there, which is why we need bags like the Air Pack. The ballooning of the air cushion acts as an impact-absorbing buffer and protects the fragile items placed in the bag. The only problem I foresee is the additional weight that will be brought on. Hopefully a refined version can factor this in. Designers: Eun-ji Jeong, You-jeong Lee & Jun-sick Kim - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!

Flexible CC Posted: 15 Dec 2014 07:22 AM PST The Curve Card is a curved credit card that looks and feels comfortable in your wallet. Because of its flexibility it doesn't crack or chip in the back pocket. A new material called β-Plastic is proposed for its construction, which I think is a good idea. No more trapped credit cards in ATM Machines or ones that refuse to swipe and work! Good going!

Boarding, Unbound! Posted: 15 Dec 2014 12:00 AM PST Winter is in full swing and Lumbos is this season’s must-have snowboarding accessory! The innovative design mounts between your board and existing bindings and allow your feet to shift independently for a more free and comfortable experience. Like a skate or surf board, you can make shifts in your stance at any time for a more controlled ride. Easier on the feet and legs, it also goes a long way to prevent muscle exhaustion on and off the lifts.
