Chapter 96: Hole Shoes

Of course, there is no special footwear design major, which does not mean that they will not design shoes if they join the college fashion design students.

The main problem is that the full name of their university is "clothing and apparel design major", not "product design and engineering major".

To be specific, theories and ideas ultimately depend on engineering technology to land, so even a small thing in ordinary life usually involves the needs of product design and engineering realization.

As for clothing, except for functional clothing, such as the research and development of waterproof and breathable materials or functional structural design, ordinary fashion clothing does not have much technical content, so the following engineering processes are omitted.

Usually, as long as there is a pattern proof, the factory can make things directly, so there is no need to add the word engineering after this major.

However, shoes are not clothes after all. There are a lot more technical content. At least it involves various materials such as outsole, midsole, upper, adhesive, etc., as well as cushioning, non-slip, support, and wear resistance. Different technical requirements,

The most reflected in this aspect are sports and outdoor footwear. Otherwise, those big sports outdoor footwear brands would not need to invest in R&D, just need to invest in design.

In other words, for shoes with a little technical content, the clothing majors in their school draw most shoe samples, and if they are too many, they can’t play well...

For example, hole shoes are not the popular version of eva foamed plastic used in the most common slippers and sandals, but a material called "closed cell resin", which is not easy to collapse or stink when stepped on. Foot feel such as softness has also been adjusted.

Zhai Xiaoguo, who came from the last life, just bought a pair of discounted hole shoes. Where do you know what closed cell resin material is?

He only asked Zheng Guoqiang about this name...

Zheng Guoqiang's computational materials science is not actually researching this aspect, but the seniors, juniors, including students, are talents engaged in product application materials.

After tossing around, after hearing the material properties required by Zhai Xiaoguo, they recommended a material called "closed polyurethane resin".

Zhai Xiaoguo is to be made into products, commercialized, and profitable, so that it forms a benign self-circulation system.

He knows that the product materials will not use the chemical name, but a tall name.

For example, the waterproof and breathable material that is often used outdoors, a kind of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, does not directly use this name.

Including the Teflon itself, which is the Teflon layer on the non-stick pan, which is often used in laboratories.

Now even aluminum alloy plus PTFE with white dot patterns can no longer be called ordinary Teflon non-stick pans, but Maifan stone pans can be called unique and tall...

There are also medicines, which can't be remembered by celebrities in the field of science, and they simply use three or four characters of foreign names to appear powerful...

This is especially true for shoes,

For example, all kinds of cushioning materials, you must not use the material's real name!Must be called "XX super cushioning technology", "XX super particle technology", etc...

In the era of product surplus, unless you have the strength of technological monopoly, you can’t buy it like a chip. Otherwise, if you don’t brag about it, and you don’t work, why should people buy yours and not others?

So Zhai Xiaoguo gave the recommended material a new name...

He is quite conservative, it is a popular name based on the microstructure of the material and the humorous nature, without a few foreign letters and the word "super"...

In addition, when he advanced to the material stage, he discovered that although there are brands like Nike and Adi in this life, there are also classic cushioning technology, small white shoes, etc., but they have not yet reached the various rivalries. When mechanical cushioning and material cushioning broke out crazily, and bite the market from the top brands,

It's not even the stage where the soles are not equipped with a carbon plate or a non-Newtonian fluid, and they are embarrassed to be called sports shoes...

In other words, in sports shoes, including outdoor products, Zhai Xiaoguo and Union University are also promising!

It just so happens that the school has related majors. Instead of letting these bell-ringing students become unemployed after graduation, it’s better to put more effort in this area and start a few more projects for students to participate in, so that they can use everything they learn. If you didn’t learn, learn quickly, and finally you can make a fortune by yourself!

And to put these bigger plans before our eyes, we must first put out the simplest, joint university's own brand, hole shoes.

Hole shoes are not the same as those of sports shoes. The materials are relatively simple, and even the second adhesive material is not needed, because they are directly integrally formed.

The structure is even simpler, only a shoelace for heels is still fastened with a button...

In the last life, until later, designers discovered that people like to wear hole shoes to go outdoors, and then they developed a version with a non-slip wear-resistant outsole, and a version with velvet on the surface that can be worn in winter. It seems a little more complicated.

So this product really wins its market by relying on a fit and light design!

Now that there are no problems with materials and manufacturing techniques, all that is left is for the students to actually work on it and make it by themselves.

In this way, slowly, their school will become a symbiosis system of production, learning, and research, rather than a unit where the three are unrelated, students are not needed, cannot see the future and are unwilling to learn, and in turn need talents. I also always complained about the "excessive accompaniment screening self-matching system" that could not find the required talents.

Zhai Xiaoguo first drew the hand-drawn sketch of the hole shoes based on his memory, and then let the fashion design students take charge of the appearance color design.

After all, if the hole shoes are just basic styles like solid red, big pink, big green, and big blue, they are actually not good-looking, and many people even think they are earthy and ugly...

So it later came up with a lot of creative color matching, such as color contrast, color matching, gorgeous camouflage, printed patterns and other designs. In short, everything that looks good and unpopular is more expensive than the basic single-tone...

He also asked the students to design various cartoon buttons with their own personality.

Because many people don't like their own hole shoes like others, they will buy different buttons to buckle the holes in the shoes to highlight their personality.

In order to encourage students to design, he said when setting up the project, whether it is the hole shoes or the accessory buttons on it, the designer will be given a corresponding commission based on the sales!

Now the students' enthusiasm is up!With a variety of colors, patterns and patterns, hand in a dozen design drafts!

However, the dean of the service department asked Zhai Xiaoguo whether it would be too utilitarian to talk directly to the students about money...
