#1 Gumshoes: World’s first shoe made from recycled chewing gum

Amsterdam is prone to a lot of gum litter, every year about 1.5 million kilos of chewing gum finds its way on to the streets of the Netherlands. So, to solve this problem and create awareness among the Amsterdammers, Publicis One in collaboration with Gum-Tec developed the gumshoes for Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. They are designed by local shoebrand Explicit Wear and have the map of Amsterdam on its sole.

The Gumshoes will be sold by the end of June at Hudson’s Bay Amsterdam and on the official website of Gumshoes Amsterdam.

#2 Somnox: World’s first sleep robot

One of the coolest inventions in soft robotics, Somnox is the world’s first sleep robot to fight insomnia.

Product of a kickstarted campaign, Somnox has already started production and will be available in the market by October this year.  How does it work? The bean-shaped pillow has a breathing movement to match your own breathing pattern subconsciously and help you calm and relax. It can also play sleep-inducing sounds including lullabies, heartbeats or music. It’s a smart pillow, you help you have a good night sleep.

#3 Labfresh – World’s first stain-repellent smart t-shirts

Labfresh, a brainchild of technology enthusiasts in Amsterdam recently launched a self-cleaning smart t-shirt which repels stains, smell and body odour. Developed in Switzerland, produced in Portugal and designed in Amsterdam, these smart t-shirts from Labfresh will be available online at a price of €35.

This smart t-shirt, made of 100% long-staple cotton, repels all water-based liquids, like red wine and ketchup. It has a moisture-wicking technology on the inside which makes sure that the sweat is absorbed and spread out over the fabric so it can dry quickly, while not being visible externally.

#4 Bolt Mobility AppScooter: World’s first scooter to answer your calls and texts

Known as the ‘Tesla on two wheels,’ AppScooter is the world’s first scooter with 4G internet connection and smartphone connectivity. Reportedly said to hit the market in 2018, has a seven-inch touchscreen that has a 4G internet connection, powered by Vodafone.

The scooter can track your location, answers your calls, plays music and navigate the best routes. The user interface can also be controlled via the handlebars, meaning drivers can focus on the road.
