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! Don't forget, right click and select "view" to see the full-sized images.    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!
