About Guang Chelsea Batai
Guang yra rankų darbo iš karvės odos ir ėriuko odos. Ant siūlių buvo susiūti šviesą atspindintys apkaustai, suteikiantys futuristinį pojūtį. Šviesą atspindinčios raidės nugarėlėje, kurios veikia kaip akį traukianti funkcija, taip pat pagerina matomumą tamsoje. Nugaros dirželis praplečia batų juostos ilgį ir plotį, kad būtų lengviau nešioti. Sugadintas Vibram padas suteikia ryškios estetikos, puikų sukibimą ir didesnį komfortą. Ryški neoninė geltona spalva kartu su siauru siluetu su smailiu pirštu suteikia maištingą, bet funkcionalų dizainą.

- Inspiration
- Chelsea boots although classy, have historically garnered a darker, more conventional design. Guang is Chinese for 'light', it aimed to bring a novel bright, futuristic vantage point to the boot while maintaining its functional features of durability and ease of wear. Guang boasts clean geometric lines, featuring the contradictory of time consuming craftsmanship and boundary challenging philosophy. The bright neon yellow alongside the pointy-toe narrow silhouette delivers a sexy, rebellious yet aesthetically pleasing design.
- Project Duration

- Operation Flow
- The main material used on the body of the boot is a durable cow hide leather with a saturated fluorescent coating. The interior of the boots is made from lamb skin allowing for a soft feel on the foot as well as flexibility to stretch to fit each foot as time goes by. Reflective details improve visibility in the dark, when hit with flash or car light, it will light up. The painted over then deliberate distressed outsole has been sanded down to fit the shoe shape, it gives superior traction and greater comfort, which are unique for high-heel Chelsea boots.
