Stack R1
STACK started from my observation that people don’t wear footwear to the gym that’s designed for the movements they are doing. From there I took a deep dive into analyzing every aspect of why this is. Observing all the exercises people do, the shoes they wear, and all the opportunities to improve gym footwear. Through an iterative process of sketching, designing, 3D modeling and printing, laser cutting, and sewing I developed the R1. The R1 features a specialized traction pattern, a TPU support structure, targeted ventilation, and a simple silhouette. All these features are designed to match the activity, intensity, and style of those that go to the gym.
