DUAL DIAMOND RUNNER

Envisioning the future of performance.
A study of geometric manipulation.

CONSTRUCTION OF DUAL DIAMOND MIDSOLE PROTOTYPE

INTEGRATING 3D-PRINTED MIDSOLE WITH WOVEN UPPER

PRELIMINARY HALF MIDSOLE SAMPLE

RENDER OF FINAL DUAL DIAMOND RUNNER DESIGN

ANIMATION OF EXPLODED MODEL COMPONENTS

UNIT CELL OF MANIPULATED DIAMOND MINIMAL SURFACE

RENDER OF EXPLODED TEXTURED COMPONENTS

CRYSTALLINE
TRANSFIGURATION

Mathematical shifting of internal architecture with
full control over empty space and geometric appearance.

Large openings within the midsole for cushioning
surrounded by thickened walls for support.

Field maps translate entire structures into layer-by-layer
color-coded mappings of open gaps against solid surfaces
— a transformable structural blueprint .

FOOTAGE OF HALF MIDSOLE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR

FOOTAGE OF FULL MIDSOLE DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR

The expansion of design freedom realized through additive manufacturing holds immense potential to materialize complex architected structures and unlock newfound mechanical behavior.

Balancing this new technology with the ever-evolving demands of running performance holds incredible prospects for advancing innovation.
