肌肤的回应 Echoes Under the Surface

本设计以男式雕花德比鞋为基础，表达一种生命中的“缺失”，回应个体在成长过程中所经历的身体或心理层面的不完整感。设计选用带有天然瑕疵的植鞣皮革，象征生命中难以抹去的痕迹，同时融合刺青工艺与皮革技法，将“创伤”视觉化、符号化。 鞋耳结构作为传统德比鞋的重要构件，在此被解构重构：左脚鞋耳以刺青图案形式刻画于鞋面，仅留视觉印记而无实际结构，暗喻功能的失落与意义的保留；右脚则将刺青图案与真实皮革鞋耳并置，呈现结构的错位与心理的修复过程。鞋底部分亦采用异材拼接：外侧保留传统真皮底，内侧则以3D打印透明树脂构成，象征不稳定的支撑与创伤后的再生。 本设计尝试以材料的质感、结构的缺位与图案的语言，共同建构一种关于“伤痛”与“回应”的叙事空间，传达即便残缺，也能行走于前的内在力量。 This design is based on the classic brogue derby shoe and explores the theme of "absence"—a reflection of the physical or emotional incompleteness experienced in one’s life journey. The shoe features naturally blemished vegetable-tanned leather, symbolizing the indelible marks left by time and experience. By integrating tattoo techniques with leather craftsmanship, the design visualizes and symbolizes personal trauma. The eyelet structure, a defining feature of traditional derby shoes, is reinterpreted here: on the left shoe, the eyestay is rendered solely as a tattooed graphic on the leather surface, preserving its visual presence while stripping away its functionality—an allegory for loss and the remnants of memory. On the right shoe, a juxtaposition of a real leather eyestay and a tattooed outline conveys a dialogue between structural dissonance and psychological restoration. The sole is composed of contrasting materials: the outer half retains the traditional leather, while the inner half is constructed with 3D-printed transparent resin, representing unstable support and post-traumatic regeneration. Through material texture, structural absence, and visual symbolism, this design constructs a narrative space about pain and response, conveying the inner strength that enables one to move forward—despite the scars.
