Havaianas
Hindrace is a school and personal project which consisted in designing a new collection of flip flops for the brand Havaianas.
The main idea and the thread of the entire work was to create a new slipper which could give more comfort and safety to the user. After a research I analyzed that often flip-flops are not ergonomic because of their distinctive shape. Leaving toes not covered, in particular the big toe, increases the risk of tripping and getting hurt.

For these reason Hindrance is equipped of a new string which embraces the sole, making the footwear more rigid at the base. This encourages a more secure fit and protection for the big toe.
The user can also chose to change the sole in case of wear. This is possible thanks to the string made of durable and elastic rubber, and to its pin that can be slipped through the hole located in the sole.
