我深耕鞋履设计领域,始终以赤诚之心热爱鞋履创作,痴迷于真皮材质独有的肌理温度与自然生命力。真皮是鞋履设计的灵魂载体,兼具天然质感与可持续价值,承载着工艺传承与创新美学的双重意义。 在设计创作中,我坚持“原生为本、匠心为魂”的理念,摒弃刻板的工业化设计套路,深耕真皮材质的可塑性与自然特性。我专注挖掘皮革天然纹路、柔韧质感的独特魅力,结合自然仿生、极简轻奢的设计思路,平衡实用性、艺术性与环保理念,让每一双鞋履都兼具质感格调与自我态度。 此次参赛,我希望以真皮为媒介,打破传统鞋履设计边界,用原创设计诠释真我态度,传承手工匠心,演绎天然材质与现代鞋履美学的极致融合,让真皮之美、设计之韵被更多人看见。 I am deeply engaged in footwear design and have a sincere passion for shoe creation. I am obsessed with the unique texture temperature and natural vitality of genuine leather materials. As the soul carrier of footwear design, genuine leather inherits craft heritage and innovative aesthetic value. In my creation, I adhere to the design concept of "rooted in originality, polished by ingenuity". Abandoning rigid industrial design routines, I explore the plasticity and natural characteristics of leather. Combining bionic design and minimalist aesthetics, I balance practicality, artistry and environmental concepts to endow footwear with unique texture and personality. Participating in this competition, I aim to break the boundaries of traditional footwear design with genuine leather. I interpret true self through original design, inherit traditional craftsmanship, and interpret the perfect integration of natural materials and modern footwear aesthetics, presenting the unique charm of genuine leather design to the audience.

本作品命名《络甲塑生》,以陆龟为核心仿生原型,结合自然藤蔓脉络的植物生命力,演绎可持续真皮设计的新生形态,契合“真皮真自我”赛事内核。设计萃取陆龟坚韧长存、低耗共生的自然生存特质,主材采用高占比天然植鞣牛皮,保留皮革原生肌理与温润质感,搭配绿色环保辅材,贯彻低碳减材的可持续设计理念。 鞋面以陆龟层叠背甲为造型基础,结合自然藤蔓缠绕脉络,运用解构拼接与立体浮雕工艺,重塑龟甲纹理与植物肌理相融的自然形态,最大化发挥真皮材质柔韧可塑的独特优势。作品以“络”为脉络、以“甲”为骨、以“塑”为技、以“生”为意,借传统皮艺工艺塑造自然新生力量。 鞋底采用轻量化3D打印多孔减材结构,延续低损耗环保理念,兼顾透气性能与穿着实用性。整体风格沉稳克制,将陆龟坚守本心的坚韧品性、藤蔓生生不息的植物生命力与真皮质感相融,以现代工艺重塑自然美学,诠释天然皮革可持续、真性情、本自我的设计价值。 Named Vein Shell Genesis, this shoe takes land tortoise bionics and natural plant vein vitality as its core inspiration, interpreting sustainable genuine leather design under the theme of “True Leather, True Self”. Drawing on the tortoise’s characteristics of low consumption, endurance and harmonious coexistence with nature, the design adopts high-proportion vegetable-tanned cowhide as the main material. It retains original leather texture and uses eco-friendly auxiliary materials to implement low-carbon and material-reduction sustainable concepts. The upper structure originates from layered tortoise carapace morphology, integrated with winding plant vine veins. Deconstruction splicing and three-dimensional embossing techniques perfectly blend shell texture and natural plant texture, fully displaying the ductility and plasticity of genuine leather. The lightweight 3D-printed porous sole further realizes environmental reduction design while enhancing wearing comfort. With steady and restrained overall aesthetics, the work combines the tenacious spirit of tortoises and the vigorous vitality of plants. It reshapes natural aesthetics through modern craftsmanship and interprets the authentic, sustainable, and original power of natural leather design.
