This project is designed for the Parkrun group in London who run 5km every Saturday morning. Running has become a new opportunity for communication in people’s leisure time. These social shoes can enhance this connection. When people haven’t been running for a long time, the shoes urge them to move. When people put them on, the shoes will start looking for another pair of shoes to encourage people to run together.
