Sportwear giant Nike presents a look at its new Swoosh 1 Trainer silhouette, which is a bright Flyknit sneaker specifically designed for babies and toddlers. It is made with a sustainable mindset, using 80% recycled materials, and is meant to replicate the comfortable feeling of walking around without shoes on. The upper is made to support a small feel resting on top of an outsole made from thermoplastic polyurethanes.
The brand explains that “Promoting natural gait development is crucial for early walkers. Research shows that our lifelong gait pattern begins to solidify as early as five to six months after we learn to walk. Our feet need to bend, flex, grip, and splay in order to develop how they’re naturally intended to.”
