Shoe Vending Machine


Onitsuka Tiger, a Japanese sports brand, launched their sneaker vending machine in London and personally I think this is really creative PR gimmik but it won't be a sustainable business. The machine can only sell 24 pairs at a time, in 6 sizes.
Reebok already did the same thing with their shoes last 2004. Im not particularly sure if it took off since everyone would really want to try on a pair of sneakers before buying it and not the other way around.
Honestly, who walks around the city barefoot? Now if they had a vending machine that dispenses slippers for women who are tired of wearing their high heels all day. But then again I don't think that kind of vending machine will work because majority of women will never sacrifice fashion over convenience. Add would rather be caught dead than be caught wearing slippers from a vending machine. hahaha
