Premium lineSupercritical midsoles
Explore supercritical midsole development around the intended application, polymer grade and complete sole construction. Define the material targets and evaluation plan before comparing samples.
Development conceptGenerated concept visual · Construction and specifications are project-specific.
Running Construction
Running sole systems
Develop a road-running sole around the runner, training purpose and intended construction. Review midsole geometry, outsole coverage and the upper interface as one specification.
Start with
the right questions.
Daily training, long-distance and racing briefs can ask different questions of a sole. Begin with the intended wearer, reference last and development priorities. Easteed coordinates the review of material candidates, component geometry and sampling scope with the factory, helping connect design decisions to an agreed evaluation plan.

Bring to the conversation
What we’ll define together.
- Reference last, bottom profile and size grading
- Stack-height, drop and geometry measurement conventions
- Midsole material grade and hardness method
- Outsole material, coverage and use-specific test plan
- Surface preparation and bonding requirements
- Sidewall appearance, colour and finishing standard
- Sample objectives, quantity and commercial targets
Keep the application in view
Trade-offs worth discussing.
- Compare outsole coverage options on the same reference size and assembly, documenting the resulting mass and wear-evaluation requirements.
- Review flex grooves together with component thickness, material properties and the position of the foot within the assembled shoe.
- Agree a representative sample and evaluation plan before extending the design across the proposed size range.
Your starting questions.
- What runner profile and training purpose define the product?
- Which dimensions and measurement conventions apply to the reference size?
- How will cushioning, durability and underfoot response be evaluated?
- What cost range, quantity and launch timing should guide the proposal?
