The shoes look pretty cool and as per Xiaomi, utilises a “unique fishbone structure” that comfortably cushions feet, preventing accidental sprains. The ‘uni-moulding’ process, which combines five different materials, also prevents faster wear and tear of the shoes. In simple words, the technology keeps the stitching on the soles intact, thus making them durable and slip-resistant.

And for all of us who hate washing and scrubbing our shoes, the Mi Men’s Sports Shoes can be tossed into the washing machine for cleaning the shoes are crafted from a breathable, washable mesh fabric. As the name suggests, the company has only rolled out shoes for men. Here’s hoping that Xiaomi also has plans to launch a similar offering for women soon!
