Nike Air Foamposite
-Irregularity, Intricacy, Depth, & Complexity -
Nike Toki
-Regularity, Economoy, Flat, Simplicity-
The shoes posted above are the Nike Foamposite and the Nike Toki. The Foamposite displays a style of shoe that is very different from any other. The lines and slihouette are irregular and intricate with an almost seamless and round shape that goes all the way around, not to mention the lines that go up and down all around the shoe. The Toki is a lot more regular and economic in the design. There is not really anything that is shocking about the design. Nike took the simple and clean look without taking any risks which is. flatness and depth is also displayed in the two shoes. The Toki is flat all around considering the exterior of the shoe does not really go in or stick out greatly anywhere around the shoe. The Foamposite, however, has lots depth shown from the indentions on the sides as well as the carbon fiber plates that extend in the middle to provide extra support. Complexity and simplicity is a technique that goes deeper than just the looks of the shoe. The Foamposite takes on complexity in the design as well as materials that they used for the shoe. The Foamposite has foam that makes up the shape of the shoe. The foam, although stiff when first purchased, softens and molds to your feet as your feet produce heat when worn during the day. The Foamposite also has Zoom Air in the soles that provide extra comfort. The Toki, on the other hand does not use such technology in the design. It is just leather that wraps around your foot with out anything complex about it.
