Sneakers for Parkinson's patients

Par Ki Sho are sneakers that improve the walking abilities of people who suffer from Parkinson’s disease. The goal of this project was to ameliorate the gait disorder of Parkinson’s patients while helping to break the stigma around this disease by offering a fashionable shoe. The sneakers come with a removable vibrating sole and a discrete laser component that projects horizontal lines in front of the wearer, both proven walking enhancing technologies. The sneaker is easy to put on – you simply slide your foot in and use handy straps to tighten the shoe, an action that can easily be done even with trembling hands.
