Crysm-VX is a footwear exoskeleton reimagining the hiking shoe as an organic, performance-enhancing symbiosis between the body and nature’s protective systems. Its hand-woven copper & cotton framework offers thermoregulation, antimicrobial aid, and energetic conductivity, evolving a patina that records terrain and time. Sustainably sourced fish leathers add grip, breathability, and abrasion resistance. Inspired by the chrysalis, Crysm-VX reframes endurance as collaboration with the natural world.
