Volley has joined forces with ME Bank to launch a new hands-free payment platform, VolleyPay.
The deal sees ME Bank integrate its debit card with Volley shoes, giving customers a new way to pay.
Volley head scientist in the foot science division Stephen Bakos said the business was proud to be the first to offer this payment method.
"Volley may be known for our classic footwear, but we’re also always looking towards the future.
"That’s why we’re incredibly excited to be foot pioneers in the wearable payments space," he said.
Customers can use the service just as they would any other debit card and purchase items in a hands-free and hygienic way.
ME’s chief marketing officer Ingrid Purcell said the privacy and lifestyle benefits of VolleyPay will be significant.
"When ME customers use VolleyPay to purchase their daily coffee, the family shopping or a romantic meal, the technology will allow them to kick, dance and pay in a fashion-forward way," she said.
VolleyPay launches today, with limited edition sizes and styles available.
