Introduction

NVSV upstream shoes are lightweight amphibious sports footwear for children. They adopt a functional athletic style and a semi-hollowed-out design. The exclusive texture on the shoe upper, combined with a 3D embossed effect, presents a distinctive appearance, making the shoes both fashionable and highly functional. The shoes are lightweight, durable, and efficient in drainage and breathability, fully satisfying children’s diverse needs in outdoor scenarios such as daily sports, beach play, and outdoor water activities. Adhering to the design concept of “one step away from outdoors”, the shoes are aimed at facilitating children to get close to nature more often and enjoy the fun and health from outdoors amidst busy education.

The shoe upper adopts a semi-hollowed-out design, which is efficient in drainage and breathability, ensuring “one breathing in every step” and keeping children’s feet dry and comfortable during sports. The nitrogen foaming technology offers excellent cushioning and rebounding performance and enhances lightweight degree and durability of the shoes. The slightly upturned toe cap design effectively protects the children from kicks and collisions, while the spacious toe area allows for toes to move around freely.

The sole design follows human ergonomics to fit the natural curve of foot, providing children with safe protection and comfortable wrapping sensation. Utilizing secondary foaming process and incorporating high-quality eco-friendly materials such as OBC, POE, and EPDM, the sole has deepened textures, with enhanced features including softness, elasticity, comfort, slip-resistance, and wear-resistance, providing stable support when walking on various complex terrains.
