John Mott’s Light Up Shoe Stories

A few years ago, I documented the wonderful stories surrounding John Mott and his Light-Up Shoe Inventions. Luckily, these stories caught the eye of Sneaker Freaker whom I then worked to create an article for Issue 48 It’s Lit.

Now that John is auctioning off his prototype collection, I thought it was important that people online could also hear these stories. Whether that is through John’s YouTube or The Sole Supplier article, you can now learn all about the wonderful journey to creating the light-up shoe.
