About Adamas Batai
„Adamas" – tai batai be raištelių, skirti kasdieniam nešiojimui mieste. Padas turi aštrias kampuotas briaunas, įkvėptas neapdorotų deimantų, o minkštas elastingas viršus tvirtai apgaubia pėdą. Pagrindinės medžiagos – sintetinis kaučiukas ir elastinis audinys. Konstrukcijai bei kiekvienos pado dalies reikiamai masei nustatyti buvo naudojama kompiuterinė analizė. Padas pagamintas kaip vientisa detalė, kas leidžia užtikrinti spartesnę gamybą, stabilius vidpadžius ir mažesnį medžiagų švaistymą. Nuo pado iki kulkšnies eina laikanti struktūra, kuri fiksuoja viršutinę dalį reikiamoje padėtyje.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The accelerating urbanization has put people's lives in a constant state of tension. Adamas' style reflects the state of existence of urbanites in a rapidly developing technological city. The Adamas' diamond-like angular sole represents a seemingly impenetrable system, but the soft upper gives the foot a sense of complete wrapping and security. It encourages people to challenge authority bravely and seek breakthroughs freely.

- Production Technology
- The primary materials used in the production of this footwear design are synthetic rubber and elastic fabric. In this case, the synthetic rubber was optimized by computerized virtual physical algorithms and tests to derive the structure of each part and its required mass. In addition, connections for one-piece molding exists between all aspects of the sole to help achieve rapid processing and footbed stability. At the same time, the support structure extending from the sole to the ankle also provides sufficient bonding space for the upper to ensure proper curvature and wrapping.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge of this design was the need to support the upper using a structure that extends from the sole of the shoe. The streamlined material requires more detail in the side wrap structure.
- Research
- This design aims at innovative research and practice on outsole shape and soft/hard material fit. In the process, we explored the possibility of using computer analysis in shoe design to control the force of materials and improve the wrapping of the upper. At the same time, we also tried to create wrapping strong one-piece outsoles to reduce the waste of manufacturing materials. This design further explores the prospect of high contrast technology style in the future urban lifestyle shoe field in terms of style.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration of Adamas comes from unpolished diamonds. The design of the shoes reflects the designer's view on the future status of urbanization. With an elastic upper and sturdy sole, Adamas is the synthesis of organic soul and ruthless technology. It is like a high-capacity creature from the world of cyberpunk, hiding a peaceful mind in the hardened shell, wandering on the edge of high urbanization. The sharp contrast of forms brings sensory stimulation.
- Project Duration
- The project started in March 2019 in Champaign, IL and finished in June 2019 in Champaign, IL, and was exhibited in Beijing in September 2020 and Los Angeles in April 2021.
