Footwear Form Exploration: Performance Silhouette
Footwear Form Exploration: Performance Silhouette
Iterative exploration of footwear form, translating movement and performance into silhouettes. Translates movement, stability, and material distribution into product directions.
Silhouette Iterations
Concept 1 — Structure/Durability
A shoe for repetitive impact + higher load conditions.
Stability + durability + controlled movement.
Midsole focus
• Stronger heel structure.
• More grounded stance.
Structural support areas.
Concept 2 — Breathability/Material Expression
Material-driven zoning based on performance needs.
• Thin-looking upper.
• Minimal overlays.
Large open-mesh zones (midfoot + forefoot).
Soft geometry.
