碩士 === 實踐大學 === 工業產品設計學系碩士班 === 106 === Considering of variety hot humid climate, I choose an Urban Outdoors Style to integrate climatic factors and different occasion. I pick up Knit technology as my material and modularizing design into a new type of sneakers with life-style feature. Combine with functionality and spirit of comfort to resolve rainy and muggy weather trouble in order to overcome an uncomfortable feet feeling of hot and humid. Moreover, people hanging around in different occasion in a day, which is inconvenient to bring multiple shoes once a time. First of all, the reference claims that the knit product about technical research and modularizing in method analysis. From above achievement, establishing ventilation and water proof function. Using feature oversimplify from module switch to increase the convenience of walking in different scenarios and reduce quantity of component. Then, I draw up a design flow of knit sneakers. Second, I focus on city functional style user’s demand and draft out three layer of design objective, which are functionality, occasion, and style. Furthermore, deciding high-low of shoes and architecture of upper design. Third, modularizing knit upper and sole together developing living indoor, casual outdoor, and urban interspace for three occasion pattern. Finally, I verify my result and consult experts from each field of production, marketing, and design. The latest styles of my sneakers that I presented are Neon, Camo, and Reappearance. Last but not least, I review my whole process of creation, which comes with conclusion in reformative result of new objective methodology of thinking, knit upper applications and occasion switch by module method. Proposing the follow-up researcher related advice and expecting there will be a technical breakup in both methodology and applications side to create a novel age of sneakers.
