Tri-4 modular concept reinterprets the roles of different components of shoes from a modular design perspective. The four modules, with different combinations, enable three wearing modes. Such a modular design meets a traveler's needs for different walking experiences on their journey; meanwhile, it reduces their packing burden of carrying multiple shoe pairs.
