SHOES

This thesis focuses on designing sustainable parkour footwear emphasizing circular economy principles. It addresses the issue of rapid outsole wear and health risks associated with narrow shoe lasts. Based on an analysis of athletes' needs, a modular shoe concept with an anatomical wide toe box was created. The innovative construction connects components mechanically via lacing without using glues. This design allows for easy replacement of worn parts, extends the shoe's lifespan, and facilitates its recycling
