Running shoe sole

Description

Running on (h)air is a 3D-printed lightweight running shoe sole. The weight of a shoe directly influences a runner’s performance and therefore the sole aims to be the lightest, yet high performing running sole. Runners customize and optimize the density, compression, and positioning of cushioning zones to achieve a perfect fit and getting rid of excess material. The 3D printed structure mimics the lightweight cushioning effect of spacer fabrics and can be easily recycled at the end of its life due to its monomaterial properties. The project has been developed at 48 during a collaboration project with on_running.
