My redesign of chopines blends fashion and functionality with a multi-purpose design. The reptile-inspired sole provides added grip and stability, ensuring comfort and safety even on tricky terrain. The sneaker-inspired upper offers a sporty yet elegant look, while UV color-change PU materials, inspired by chameleon color change, create a dynamic visual effect as the colors shift with lighting and surroundings. This unique design makes the chopines a stylish and practical addition to any outfit, guaranteed to turn heads.
