Sho is a waterproof sneaker that can be easily disassembled for recycling.
Degradable materials are not durable enough for shoes and it costs too much to separate and sort out the typical shoe's various materials, making it impossible to recycle most shoes. Sho responds to this problem by providing a shoe that can be easily disassembled. Users can replace parts when they are broken or worn down. They can also remove the shoe's upper part and wear only its base in dry, warm environments. When the shoes are finally worn out, users can separate their different parts for easier disposal and recycling.
