I made the vertical lights myself 🦾 these keep me visible around traffic at night. Also would pair well with a motorcycle.

    These are so cool! I thought about doing this on my jacket sleeves but not shoes. Please share more details

      I plan to sell the vertical ones at https://www.jilanico.com

      They use a single coin cell. Last a good long while, like several nights.

      The horizontal ones can be found on Amazon and are rechargeable. They are prone to falling off so I removed the internal spring and glued them to my shoes.

      Thank you so much :) the converse pair took me forever. I embedded electroluminescent wire around the sole. The other two (the vertical lights) were easier to make. I’ve made a green variant that is like stacked power bars that you can see at https://www.jilanico.com

        You got any other picture with a different angle (of the converse specifically)? & Oh yeah, I like that green version too. Nice work man

        Edit: I found them on your IG linked on the website actually, good stuff.

        Love that you call them ‘mag boot style’ and reference the Expanse. Those novels were great and the TV show killed it with the visual style. I think you captured that really nicely. Excellent!! Your IG is on that link?
