Reads every step. Returns to the soil.

Solum is smart footwear made from natural rubber and crop waste. A small core reads how you walk, and the app's coach tells you what to do next. When the shell wears out it goes back to the soil, and the core moves to your next pair.

One core, three products

Each product has a body made from plants and crop waste, and the same removable sensing core. The core reads pressure, walking speed, balance and step rhythm, and the app turns them into plain advice.
