While doing our normal crowdfunding campaign surf we came across a project that we had to share. We often post about High Tech and Not-For-Profit campaigns but InSoul Dress Sneakers is one we had to share.
InSoul is one of those great product ideas that may not have seen the light of day if not for the crowdfunding revolution. This handcrafted footwear takes function and comfort to the next level. InSoul combines the dress shoe look you need for business or going out and combines it with the comfort of your favorite gym shoes.
Have a look at the Kickstarter campaign video here:
Here are a few words directly from the InSoul campaign on Kickstarter:
“When you combine sneakers with dress shoes, you get DRESS SNEAKERS. Hand made by the finest craftsman.”
“What is a DRESS SNEAKER? Sneaker styled upper with a dress shoe chassis (Outsole/construction)”
“What makes a Dress Sneaker better than a sneaker? A Dress Sneaker gets better with time by softening and conforming to the shape of your foot, similar to a dress shoe. A sneaker gets worse the more you wear them. The comfort component of a sneaker compresses and eventually becomes hard and bad for the foot.”
“How is a Dress Sneaker made differently? A sneaker is made in a large manufacturing plant that mass produces million of shoes. The sneaker gets passed down an assembly line so no one person ever has ownership of it throughout the process wording more about the quantity than the quality. A Dress Sneaker/dress shoe is made in a small artisan’s shop where one cobbler/craftsman takes full ownership of each and ever shoe. They have passion for their craft as a art form and pride in what their shop delivers to the public.”
