A Terra-Sized Outsole with Ultra-Transparent Accents
One answer arrived at through the pursuit of an exaggerated outsole. Without overstatement, this outsole draws every gaze toward the feet. The gaze then naturally travels upward to the head, resulting in the viewer observing not only the wearer's face but their entire body. This shift in perception lies at the core of the brand's concern — a brand that places its concept on the outsole, the very point of contact between the human body and the earth. The main body is composed of Phylon, with rubber applied to the sole. Ultra-transparent TPU is placed at the heel and toe. The massive, dramatically curved outsole rolls in response to each step, propelling the foot forward again and again.
A footbed is sandwiched between the oversized outsole and the upper — hamburger-like in construction — adding height in addition to length. The upper is composed through a collage of archived CPU parts from past models. Oil-treated laces intertwine with thick leather cords, and together with surface scratches and scuff marks, they bring a sculptural, antique-like presence to the foot.
The design accommodates a range of approximately two to three sizes above and below. As the foot does not reach the tip of the shoe, fit is adjusted by controlling the tightness of the upper through the shoelaces.
