Alpinestars’ Post

A few months ago, I announced a test of the most sustainable “technical”  running shoes on the planet.   For the moment smaller concept brands like Circle, Winqs and Veja are doing a really good job. But its good to see the bigger Brands like Salomon and especially ON with their #cyclon program are investing seriously in high performance circularity. Circle on the other hand stands out with their European production and choices of materials. The Merino upper, outsole and even laces are 100% bio-sourced. The midsole however is always the difficult part. Here they must rely on #arkema PLNT Foam which is 50% bio sourced from castor beans.   That was the good news… the tricky part is how “ runnable” are those planet savers…?  Therefore, I could call on Runners’ lab ( #prolab ) The end result for all models :  there is still some work on the stability part and most of the eco friendly foams feel quite heavy and hard.   We are waiting and ready for an eco-friendlier running environment. Let’s see what the future brings … #runnerslab #sustainablerunning #onrunning #cloudneo #circlesportswear #supernaturalrunner #winqs #salomon #veja #top5

Mover joins forces with SailGP. Last week, together with SailGP, one of the world’s fastest growing sport leagues, we announced an exciting purpose-driven collaboration. This project challenges the status quo in sportswear and apparel, where the industry promotes synthetic fibres as the only viable solution to meet the technical demands of high-performance clothing. SailGP Chief Purpose Officer Fiona Morgan said: "At SailGP our ambition is to be the world’s most purpose driven and sustainable global sport and entertainment platform, and it’s only by collaborating with innovative, like-minded partners that we’ll be able to achieve this.« That’s why we’re incredibly excited to join forces with Mover to totally rethink sports performance clothing with plastic free materials, a cause very close to my heart. This purpose-driven collaboration demonstrates that change is possible if you innovate and re-design the norm » By testing plastic-free technical sportswear in some of the most challenging environments, this pilot project aims to demonstrate that high-performance textiles can be achieved without relying on fossil-fuel fibres. Our collaboration with SailGP is a fantastic opportunity to prove that natural fibres can excel in one of the most demanding sports on the planet. Prove that evolution developed the most technical and intelligent materials, genuinely deigned to be digested by nature. The collaboration between Mover and SailGP is championed by A Plastic Planet, an organisation working to inspire the world to reduce its plastic usage. Founder of a Plastic Planet, Sian Sutherland said: "The plastic crisis can feel overwhelming with billions of pieces of plastic still being pumped out into our oceans and soils. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Mover is proving that technical performance textiles from natural, truly breathable materials not only feel great, but mean we are no longer adding to plastic pollution with every wear and wash. We are so proud to bring Mover together with SailGP to highlight that change is possible ». ABOUT SAILGP SailGP is the most exciting racing on water. The global championship features national teams battling in short, intense races at iconic stadium-style venues across the globe.

Some key lessons we can learn from this… 1. Failure is a key part of innovation, it is one of the most vital learning experiences and generally leads to better solutions in the long run. 2. Iterate Iterate Iterate until you feel you have the best product, then iterate some more. 3. Good design takes time, ideas need to evolve and have space to develop. 4. Waste from one industry can be used as a feedstock for another. Learn what others are doing outside your sector and think creatively if there are synergies. 5. Teamwork makes the dream work. #circulardesign #sportsapparel #designthinking

Increase in number of road accidents, surge in demand for advanced safety system, and development of self-contained airbag jackets are anticipated to boost the growth of the global motorcycle airbag market during the forecast period. However, software failures associated with sensors and high initial investment cost are expected to hinder the growth of the global motorcycle airbag market during the forecast period. Moreover, growth in awareness from customers for protective gears and increased demand for bike taxi services are expected to create an opportunity for the motorcycle airbag market in near future.
