Кроссовки для паркура от фирмы Puma |
|
Паркур набирает всё большую популярность ,
хорошо это или плохо пока непонятно ...
И
вот уже собираются выпустить очередные
кроссовки для паркура , напомню
что обувь
для паркура выпускают уже такие фирмы как :
Bont , K-Swiss , Reebok , а теперь ещё и Puma .
Я думаю текст переводить не стоит , по картинками и так много понятно ... :
Project overview:
This parkour project was very
challenging for several reasons.
One of
the main reasons was that I knew very
little about this sport, who did
it , or where they did it!
You may be asking yourself the very same
thing.
I had seen tidbits of it on the Nike commercials,
Sebastien
Foucan's brief appearance at the beginning
of the Casino Royale, and a
short blurb in a trend meeting
I had attended for work. I can say that
what
I had seen definitely intrigued me, and to my
knowledge, very
little existed in the footwear
world that catered to this activity.
Perfect!
So first and foremost I had to seek out somebody
who
could tell me the "who, what, when, where, why and how"
of parkour
(also called free running, depending
on who you ask...it's a long
story). With a little
asking around, I met the acquaintance of fellow a
sneaker head from Australia named Ista. He was
instrumental in giving
me the in's and outs of free
running and especially the performance
needs of
serious practicers.
In the end, I spent around 2 months
worth of nights and
a few scattered weekends hashing out the final
design.
Hopefully, the work will tell you the rest of what you need
to
know!

The origins of parkour are rooted in Asian
philosophies and practicing
is a way of learning
about yourself, overcoming obstacles and being
one
with the
world around you. This led me to researching
more about these
philosophies and cultures.
As a result, the Puma Xuvia (the term for a
spiders molted exoskeleton which ties into the
durability and
recycle-ability of the shoe) features
a split toe inspired by the Tabi
boots ninjas have
adorned for centuries. This construction not only
aids in increasing balance and agility (i.e. when
climbing a fence or
wall), but also provides similar
benefits to acupuncture. The free
runners'
resemblance to real-life Spidermen brought
meaning to the
spider inspiration. The color-popped
protective rubber in the front is
an obvious
reference to the wolf
spider's fangs, but many other cues
were
implemented throughout my research of spiders.
Note the 4 wrapping
straps on each shoe,
cross-hatched low profile traction resembling the
body hair, EVA abdomen-like formation under the
heel, and cocoon-like
upper that wraps the foot.
Many times I like to take
technologies that are
under development and implement them into my
designs to show what we might actually be wearing
in 10-15 years.
Believe-it-or-not, scientists in many
fields are currently devising a
way to spin spider silks
that could be used to create products far
superior to
the ones we use today. In fact, dragline silk is lighter
and up to 10x stronger than Kevlar! The entire upper of
the Xuvia is made of this "Biosteel"
(a synthetic
replication of dragline silk, spun into a fabric) to
provide the ultimate in lightweight durability.
This material is also
recyclable and produces
no pollution to manufacture: a key selling
point for
people who use the Earth as their playground!
