Close your eyes, tap your app three times and think to yourself, "There are no heels like these." Because, honey, there aren't. Not yet.
Remember last year, when "smart" ballet slippers pirouetted into our hearts (and headlines)? Well, now a high-tech pair of smart high-heels is strutting onto the wearable fashion scene and, Toto, we're not in blandsville anymore.
They're called Volvorii Timeless smart shoes and what's so special about them is that they change color in the click of a smartphone app (iOS and Android versions to come). Hello, instant customization gratification. Not sure which heels to wear with that little black dress? Need to morph from business casual to night club slick, but no time to shift shoes? No stress. Leave it to the Internet of Stilettos.

— iShüu Tech (@Volvorii) March 16, 2015Created by a seven-person Lithuanian startup called iShüu Tech, and originally the brainchild of display technology research scientist Wallen Mphepö, these high-tech pumps are digital chameleons for your fancy feet. They're made of leather and rubber and outfitted with hidden circuitboard, Bluetooth and battery components. And, here's the kicker, they're pimped out with electronic (e-ink) "paper" that you control with a companion app, altering the look of the flexible digital panel that spans from the top of the toes on up the sides of the pumps.
Depending on what your outfit calls for, or your mood, you can switch the Volvorii's smart display panel from black to white to a chic Louis Vuitton-inspired black and white pattern. Its ambitious makers, who think they "just might be on the verge of creating a new micro industry for the world," plan to add more cool pattern choices in the future. 
Available in black or white, soft leather-lined Volvorii also come in two tall heel heights, 3.5 inches and 4.5 inches. The battery that powers the display recharges via an included USB wireless charger and takes about two hours to fully juice from zero.

If you want a futuristic pair of your own, you'll have to shell out $249. The $149 and $199 Indiegogo perk packages are already history. The first Volvorri are expected to ship this December, just in time for all those dressy holiday parties.
