Catalytic Clothing: Herself, air purifying dress
When the light shines on the photocatalyst, the electrons in the material are rearranged and they become more reactive. These electrons are then able to react with the water in the air and break it apart into 2 radicals. A radical is an extremely reactive molecule. These radicals then react with the pollutants and cause them to break down into non-harmful chemicals.

The Catalytic Clothing technology is designed to breakdown the pollutants straight away. However, some pollutants may become attached without being broken down. In this case, the pollutants will be washed off during subsequent laundering. This actually already happens with normal clothing.

The photocatalyst is delivered to the surface of the clothing during the traditional laundry procedure as an additive within a standard product such as a fabric conditioner. The active agent is packaged within a shell that is attracted towards, and subsequently binds to, the surface of the clothing during the washing cycle.

LED fitness jacket by Nemen
The visual impact is not the only special feature of this jacket: the outer fabric is a monofilament of nylon and steel with a transparent polyurethane film that protects the optical fibers and lets the light pass through it, creating an effect of depth. The inner fabric provides maximum protection from the cold thanks to a special aluminium coating that reflects body heat.

ShiftWear: sneakers with displays
Oh wait, there already are interactive sneakers with a display out there.
ShiftWear only have one disadvantage. It's kinda stillborn. They lack the element of magic and seem to be a bit dull. Let's take a look at how they're made.

As for April 2017, they are still in pre-order stage, and, as seen in Jan 2017 Youtube update, they're only starting to actually prototype the shoe for production. The display they are using is LED and not very flexible. It is also glossy and only covers a portion of the shoe on its side.

A pair of those will be $500. Although they initially had plans to go cheaper:
