The Disassembly lab is a conceptual and formal study aimed at creating shoes integrated into a sustainable system. Disassembly extends the life of a shoe, making it repairable, restorable, replaceable and recyclable. The aim is to rethink and redefine the way we build and assemble sneakers without glue. This research is inspired by various references and explores distinct concepts. Each concept evolves over the course of the research, culminating in three shoes, offering different functional and aesthetic solutions. These shoes, with their TPU soles and 3D knitted upper, are reduced to minimum
