如果你是运动鞋的爱好者，还有不同设计图案的运动鞋，那么这款最新的设计可以为你节省开支和空间。
The 'ShiftWear' range has flexible colour e-ink displays so wearers can change the pattern and colour of their shoe at the touch of a button.
ShiftWear运动鞋的图案显示区域装有柔性彩色电子墨水显示屏，如此一来，用户穿着时只需点一下按钮，便可轻松变换鞋子的图案和颜色。

Designer David Coelho, based in New York, is raising money on Indiegogo to make the shoes a reality.
美国纽约的设计师大卫·柯埃略，正在Indiegogo（众筹平台）上为这种运动鞋的批量生产进行众筹。
The campaign claims the ShiftWear shoes are 'the most adaptable shoes you'll ever own, customised straight from your smartphone.'
众筹活动声称，ShiftWear运动鞋是最百变的运动鞋，用户使用智能手机就可随意变换图案。
Available as high, medium and low tops, the shoes will include e-ink panels, using a similar technology to that seen in Amazon's Kindle e-reader, but in colour.
这种运动鞋有高、中、低不同鞋帮高度，鞋面会嵌入电子水墨显示屏，在亚马逊Kindle电子阅读器中也可以看到相似的技术应用，只是颜色不同。
Users will be able to use an accompanying app to choose designs for the shoes that will be displayed on the flexible screens.

'In addition to static designs and images, ShiftWear shoes can also display animations,' the start-up added.

'However, if your design is static, the sneaker will consume no power and your design will stay that way till you change it.'

The trainers will have up to 30 days battery life if displaying a static image.

While the start-up claims the technology to make the shoes has existed for years, it said it can't release its trade secrets about how the trainers will function.

创业者还说道：‘阳光直射下可以看到鞋面的颜色和图案，就像看到普通运动鞋上的图案一样。
The shoes' soles will be coated with Kevlar Fibres, to resist the normal wear and tear of traditional sneakers and 'the flexible electronics in the shoes charge with every step you take - or wirelessly.'
为防止出现传统运动鞋的日常磨损，设计师在运动鞋底部加入了一层凯夫拉纤维，‘鞋面的柔性彩色电子墨水显示屏通过用户步行的每一步，对运动鞋进行充电，也可以说是无线充电。’
An iOS, Android and Windows app is planned, which will allow users to change the designs of their trainers at the touch of a button.
一款兼容iOS、安卓和微软系统的app正在计划当中，有了它，用户只需轻点按钮，便能更改运动鞋上的图案。
It will also have a marketplace with the 'freshest designs' from artists which could be bought to show up on sneakers in seconds.
