980 TATOU is a shoe for the urban sport Le Parkour, an activity with the aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as possible by using only the abilities of your body to overcome obstacles, like concrete walls, balustrades and rocks. In most cases, people who do Le Parkour often have to use shoes designed for other purposes like running, skating, etc., but when used for Le Parkour, those shoes have to face quite different circumstances, resulting in the shoes wearing out very quickly. The structure of the 980 TATOU responds to the unique movements performed in the sport, and its several detachable parts as well as its new lacing system allow for easy exchange, washing and customization of the shoe itself.
The 980 TATOU won the Gold Prize at IDEA Design 2010.
There’s no manual on how to dress your child. When you have a little baby in your arms, all fragile, the tiny bones and little fleshy body- it can be incredibly intimidating…what am I doing with this little thing?! They can’t speak or tell me how they feel, they can’t tell you, “You’re bending my arm in a really uncomfortable direction!!!” Or, “OUCH, OUCH, OUCH!” They can cry a little bit as an indication about how they’re feeling, but for the most part you’re trying to guess- hm, this looks uncomfortable, but I’m not really sure? Shoes are definitely the worst. Most of the time a child will end up throwing them off their feet, you lose a shoe midway through the day, they start crying if the seam on their sock isn’t aligned properly and so on…it’s overall a really big hassle. It doesn’t have to be though! Instead of worrying about the socks AND the shoes, how about finding a way to combine the two?!
