“BITE” 






PROBLEM
─────────


High-performance “super trainer” running shoes become unusable when the midsole foam degrades, even though the upper and outsole remain in excellent condition.

END GOAL
─────────
A sustainable shoe design with removable supercritical foam inserts in the midsole. When the foam wears out, athletes can easily replace it without discarding the entire shoe.
