Sericulture and silk reeling techniques are the crystallized wisdom of the Chinese nation, honed over thousands of years. This pair of sneakers draws inspiration from the process of silkworms spinning silk into cocoons, using the cocoon's enveloping form as the prototype. They aim to bring the softness and comfort of silk to outdoor activities while adhering to the principles of "green sports" and sustainability. Manufactured using biotechnology and materials with high recyclability, these sneakers feature over 50% eco-friendly green leather combined with elastic knitted silk fabric, capturing the anticipation and potential of a butterfly about to break free. The soft texture of the silk, mechanically processed, enhances both safety and fashion appeal.
