The Dragonflight shoes were designed for professional marathoners to enhance acceleration and speed. It forgoes the traditional streamlined silhouette design and presents a direct aesthetic of technology. The research-supported design of the heel optimizes propulsion, while the midsole uses a recyclable bio-based material called BOOM. This fiber is created through a fluid-foaming process that provides shock absorption and rebound. The embedded bird-shaped carbon plate provides propulsion support during movement. Compared with rubber, the outsole GCU’s wear resistance is five times greater.
