Heel strike — the foot contacting the ground heel first.
… but you wont be able to.

The Idea behind this shoe is to combine a high heel and modern running shoes in a futuristic context.
A heel that looks fast by adding a dynamic Bottom Unit shape with a rough outsole. Creating a sporty visual.
By not using any heel at all, there also wont be an ounce of heel to ground contact as you should not be heel striking while running, this is another nod to the sporty aspect.

I used EVA to create the Bottom Unit and Jersey to sew the Upper.
