I read about your new nanofiber lattice thingy—sounds slick, but if you want a shoe that sings, you need to think about the silhouette first, not just the tech. How do you see the future of foot‑wear design meeting true form?

Got it, silhouette first, not just tech. I’m envisioning a lattice that’s like a living shape‑memory mold, it starts flat, then when you step it scans the foot and curves into the exact contour, so the form is born from the foot, not the other way around. It keeps the shoe light, flexible, but still feels like it was custom‑made for you. That’s the sweet spot where design and tech really meet.

Sounds fancy, but if the lattice just mimics the foot you lose the story that only a true silhouette tells. A living mold is nice, but you’ll still need that guiding hand of the designer—otherwise you’re just a piece of smart rubber, not a narrative. Think about the arc of the heel, the tension line of the toe box, those subtle curves that make a shoe speak before the foot even touches it. And for heaven’s sake, no Velcro in the mix. Keep the elegance, not the convenience.
