本作品名为《壤循》,以大地原生肌理与循环可持续理念为核心创作内核,锚定天然材质优先的设计准则,重构工装机能鞋款的环保表达。鞋身主体采用占比超 50% 的植物鞣制牛皮,依托植物萃取鞣料完成加工,全程规避有害化工制剂,可自然降解回归土壤;辅以有机棉麻织物、可再生软木饰片、回收橡胶改性辅料,全组件取材于自然再生体系,从源头降低时尚产业耗材损耗。 设计语言融合解构主义层次拼接工艺,通过几何错落裁片重组鞋面结构,摒弃传统整皮裁切带来的材料浪费,铆钉、调节束带等手工细节,充分挖掘植鞣材质柔韧可塑性,让粗犷工装质感与先锋机能线条共生。鞋底借鉴蜂窝仿生 3D 打印思路,打造镂空轻量化复合橡胶基底,在减轻鞋身负重的同时,强化材质透气与可降解属性。 整体配色取自山野泥土、草木苔藓原生色调,弱化人工染色痕迹。「壤」意为土地原生,「循」代表循环往复,整双鞋以天然可回收材料构建完整闭环,借复古与未来碰撞的造型,传递顺应自然、循环共生的生活态度,诠释不受制式束缚、根植大地的自我表达。 This work is titled TerraCycle, centered on the original texture of earth and the philosophy of circular sustainability, adhering to the design principle of prioritizing natural materials to reimagine eco-friendly expression for workwear functional footwear. The upper is crafted with over 50% vegetable-tanned cowhide, processed with plant-derived tanning agents free of harmful chemical additives, enabling natural biodegradation back into soil. Complemented by organic cotton-linen textiles, renewable cork inlays and modified recycled rubber accessories, all components are sourced from natural regenerative systems to cut industrial material waste at the source. Drawing on deconstructivist layered splicing techniques, geometric staggered panels restructure the upper and eliminate material waste from conventional full-leather cutting. Handcrafted details such as metal rivets and adjustable laces fully exploit the flexible malleability of vegetable-tanned leather, blending rugged workwear texture with avant-garde functional lines. The outsole adopts bionic honeycomb 3D printing logic to form a hollow lightweight composite rubber base, reducing footwear weight while boosting breathability and biodegradability. The color palette draws inspiration from wild soil, moss and native vegetation, minimizing artificial pigmentation. Terra symbolizes primal earth, and Cycle stands for circular regeneration. Constructed with fully recyclable materials to form a closed ecological loop, the silhouette fuses retro and futuristic aesthetics, conveying a lifestyle of harmony with nature and circular coexistence, as well as an unconfined self rooted in the land.
