Project X-Treme Adapt is a footwear project dedicated to advancements in technology, specifically 50 years in an apocalyptic future. By utilizing future thinking and biotechnology, X-Treme Adapt is designed to enhance the user's physical capabilities while traversing through various elemental conditions and environments. Biomimicry has played a significant contribution to the overall functions of the shoe, from the use of regenerative embryonic stem cells that sense information through its porous structure to coloration states that react to the different situational circumstances.
