SmartKickz careers
SmartKickz™, Inc. is a startup enterprise in the athletic shoe market segment focused on children.
SmartKickz™ is the 1st Technologically Enhanced Learning Shoe that teaches children to put their shoe on the correct foot using visual and voice interaction.
For example: When a child puts their shoes on incorrectly, there will be a voice of encouragement that says something along the lines of: “Timmy [or any child name] wrong way man! Let’s try again!” (Or any custom message the customer chooses). Alternatively, when a child puts the shoes on the correct foot, there will be a voice that congratulates them and says something along the lines of “Way to go Sport! Great job!” (Or any custom message a customer chooses).
All SmartKickz™ shoes will have the capability for adding the GPS component at a later date, including shoes sold prior to the introduction of the GPS option.
