- Design Challenge
- Identifying the needs of each runner can be very difficult. Treadmill injury to the knee is a very complex process, during which there are many uncontrollable factors. I spend a lot of time studying anatomy knowledge. Prototype production and testing is another difficulty. Model-making methods include vacuum Form, 3D Printing & Casting, hand Sewing, and Clay Modeling.
- Research
- Expert Interview: Orthopaedic Doctor from Peking University Third Hospital; Owner of Makerfit Studio; Trainer of Makerfit Studio; Sales Assistant Nike; Sales Assistant of Run With Us; 3 Professional Trainer and 15 Runners
- Inspiration
- Treadmills provide a simple, effective aerobic workout. A staple of commercial gyms, treadmills have also become one of the most popular exercise equipment machines. Most people go to the gym in order is to maintain a healthy lifestyle through exercise. Another reason is to lose weight and transition into a healthy lifestyle. Some people find a community at the gym, and they value the social interactions they have there.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2018 and finished in 2020 (Los Angeles).
- Operation Flow
- Y-3 Neue helps runner interacts with the shoes better than ever. A layer of carbon fiber cooperates with the artificial ligament started from the bottom lateral side, going up across the insteps then separating into two directions. The two pieces work together to hold the runner's heel properly and prevent the abnormal ankle twist during the running. The ergonomic curve of the insole would provide extra support for the arch. While heel landing on the treadmill surface, the impact pushes the gel extending to the medial side to prevent overpronation.
