Brief
Design active footware shoes that incorporates innovative technology.
Inspiration
Golf shoes could benefit from redesigned spikes!
Problem Analysis
For this project I found inspiration in golf shoes because I saw consumers experiencing trouble maintaining them.
My further research showed that the two most common problems with spikes are removing a snapped-off spike, and replacing spikes which were worn-down past the tool interface.
"How might we design a golf shoe that prevents the common issues of tradition golf shoe spikes?"
User Persona
Golf Experience: 3-7 years
Age: 18-40
Price Target: $150
​Location: United States
Visual: Pure Swing Green
Leather Tow-Box
Stiff Midsole For Swing Stability
Flowing Graphics
Compression Mounted Spike
Revolutionary spike system that relies on compression to keep the spike in the shoe, meaning if the spike breaks, it will fall out.
Extended sole plate controls the toe
Selected Concept
Stiff midsole to optimize swing stability
Rigid sole plate with rubber overmold
Model Refinement
Manufacturing and Materials
Injection molded spike, bolt, and nut components compress the rubber grommet which locks in the spike.
