Baking Time-themed, Puff Coffee Grounds Organic Skate Shoes boast a cute and tender appearance with comfortable and resilient technologies, offering a lightweight, cozy, edutainment kid's skate shoe solution.
Drawing inspiration from the energy-boosting breakfast- omelet and toast, this shoe product takes a warm color tone, dotted with coffee brown and yolk yellow, to present a layered and vivid visual experience. The decorative wheat-stitched shoelaces, omelet toast buckles, and PUFF biscuit-shaped TPU stabilizers make this product cuter and sweeter, arousing kids' curiosity about baking and delivering a mild, healing, soft visual effect.
This product well balances aesthetics and functions. It comes with the upgraded Puff 2.0 Pro sole. By adjusting the pore density of the MD raw material to 0.2 to 0.24, the Puff 2.0 Pro sole enhances softness by 16% and resilience by 13% compared with the Puff 1.0 sole, ensuring kids are comfortable in doing sports like running and jumping. Unlike regular outsoles with full-wrapped rubber anti-slip designs, this outsole adopts a semi-enclosed rubber strip to reduce the weight of the whole sole by 25% compared with the Puff 1.0 sole, protecting kids' foot health while guaranteeing excellent slip resistance. Aided by the open-style texture on the bottom of the outsole, this product enjoys a coefficient of friction up to 0.34 (standard requirement: 0.15) in wet conditions, hugely lowering the risk of slipping down.
This product is eco-friendly, with mesh fabric and space leather of the upper made from recycled PET materials, reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and plastic pollution. It also serves as a medium to spread recycling-related knowledge to kids, such as recycling kitchen waste and plastic waste caused by baking, thus fostering their awareness of protecting the environment.
