Tech pack for the Infinity Run on two stacked pages, a lateral view in orange with collar heights, tongue and quarter logo sizes, and a top view of the toe, then construction details for the internal quarter support, the tongue, and a foam section at the collar.
Three midsole studies stacked, each a side view of a sweeping orange midsole above its outsole, in grey, blue, and brown rubber zones.
Design A in orange, a rendered lateral side with a perforated upper and a blue 361° logo next to the line-art medial side.
Design B in orange, a rendered lateral side with a cut-away heel and a blue 361° logo next to the line-art medial side.
Outsole line art in blue, orange, and red with a 361° logo at the forefoot, above a side view of the midsole.
The finished shoe in pale yellow mesh with black stripes, orange laces and accents, and an off-white midsole, medial view.
The finished shoe from the front and above, with orange laces and a 361° logo on the quarter.
The finished shoe from behind, with a translucent heel counter, a yellow heel tab, and a faceted off-white midsole.

Brief

361° asked us to design its first marathon super shoe on Qu!kfoam, its new cushioning foam, light enough for race day and stable enough for long training runs.

Process

Early concepts explored minimal upper constructions and midsole structures, from a bubbled design language to a wraparound shank. Studies then refined the sole unit’s volume, shape, and outsole zones. The finished shoe pairs a translucent mesh upper with a sculpted Qu!kfoam midsole and a Qu!kframe plate.
