Back in 2008, BMW Design Group debuted the GINA Light Visionary Model. What made this concept stand out was the exterior, which was covered in fabric– it was like the car was wearing a shirt. Now, in 2016, BMW has unveiled a new set of shoes that were designed after this 8-year old concept.
These new shoes, called the X-CAT DISC, designed by Designworks, a BMW Group subsidiary, for Puma’s DISC range. The “DISC” range is named after the new lace system. Instead of painstakingly tying your shoes every morning, you can rotate the disc that rests on the shoe’s tongue to tighten the laces.
