Vibram will join the autumn edition of the components fair Lineapelle, to be held in Bologna from the 13th to the 15th of October (HALL 21, BOOTH B11/C12).

The new items of FW 2010/11 collection (LIFESTYLE and SPORT&OUTDOOR) will be introduced by three main concepts:

• OPTICAL, the technology which reproduces on a sole, by using just rubber, the same optical effects of serigraphy and graphics
• ShOLE, an innovative solution based on positioning holes in the thickest part of a sole
• ICETREK, the revolutionary compound developed to grant maximum grip on ice and snow.

A whole area will be dedicated to the ECO-initiative promoted by Vibram:

• RECYCLED, with EcoStep® compound proving the traditional interest in rubber re cycling
• ALL NATURAL and BIODEGRADABLE, the new frontiers of research in progress based on exploiting natural materials and producing biodegradable soles.

Room to Vibram® FiveFingers® too, the all-Vibram footgloves which catched the media attention this past months for their value as an innovative yet versatile footwear.
