The final design. Rendered using photoshop. the upper represents the fluid supply style of parkour and the sole represents the hard impact style.
Parkour or Freerunning
is a Physical discipline of
French origin in which the
participant called a Traceur
attempts to pass obstacles in
the fastest and most direct
manner possible.
“As with Yin Yang, Parkour
is made up of two indivisible
selections: Firstly, movement
that is fluid and
smooth: supply style Second,
Impactful movements: Hard
style You must find the best
balance for yourself.”
-Sebastien Foucan
co founder of parkour
Sketching and development process, over 50 shoes where sliced measures and recored to gain knowledge about construction, and technologies.
Final construction uses a double lasted sole to hide the thick eva section, large ball and heel gel sections where added to absorb impact. support straps extend down to the toe section as do the laces to provide better climbing support. The upper is made from leather for durability.
