This concept was inspired by the thought of what type of sneakers I would wear if I lived in a space station. I conclude that the practical choice would be a slip-on sneaker consisting of biodegradable materials from the upper to the bottom construction.

Upper: Biodegradable engineered knit, bio-based hot-melt, bio-based tech piece and biodegradable laces.

Bottom: Midsole will consist of Bio-Based EVA and the sole plate will be recycled rubber.

Tech-Piece: Bio-Attributed TPU and It will function as a support brace/system from the heel to the shaft area.

Thank you for the valuable lesson of this course and the opportunity to engage in a project and present. Please feel free to give me constructive criticism :)
