Adidas and Porsche Design intended to expand their mutual line of high-end fashion and apparel products. The existing product categories had been precisely positioned (running, golf and driver shoes), but missed hybrid-category products, that customers could use for very different activities, e.g. going for a run and then rushing into a meeting.
The Lite Motion was born: Multiple design concepts were developed, combining sleek performance and high-end aesthetical characteristics into a lighter, more elegant running shoe. Effective air circulation was a key aspect in the design development of a shoe for versatile use, thus Adidas 3-stripes branding was converted into a visual and functional air circulation feature, providing the user with cool feet and relaxed mood in all situations. The elegant leather design features Adidas’ latest technology adiPRENE® heel support and FORMOTION™ cushioning – suitable for plenty of surfaces.
