HELIOS 3

Seven suns. One form. A sneaker milled from a single block — no panels, no seams, no compromise.

The Helios 3 sneaker in Solar orange, a single carved form
The design story

Carved,
not stitched

Most sneakers are assembled — twenty-odd pieces cut flat, then sewn and glued into the shape of a foot. The Helios 3 starts as one solid block of composite foam and ends as one continuous body. The midsole isn't attached to the upper; it is the upper.

Nothing to peel. Nothing to delaminate. The ridges running the length of the shoe are the tool paths left behind — the making is the design.

UpperSingle-block milled EVA composite, no stitched panels
MidsoleContinuous with upper — one carved body, zero glue lines
OutsoleSolar-ray rubber pod tread, 4mm lugs
