Floris van Bommel about The Gripper for men:
"Bob Ross often talked about ‘Happy accidents’ in his painting lessons, mistakes that unexpectedly turn out well. The design world is teeming with these kinds of lucky shots. In fact, there are countless products where the designer would admit that the original idea was a complete failure, but which ultimately became surprisingly successful. As a designer, you constantly encounter obstacles. Materials react differently than expected, the right tools are missing, time pressure plays a role, or production machines simply can’t handle your design. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Why am I telling you this? Because this sneaker also has a happy accident! In the original 2D design, the teeth of the sole were evenly spaced, with the same spacing everywhere. But when we made a 3D mold from that drawing, the curvature of the sole suddenly created larger spaces at the front. We hesitated for a moment: should we do it again? But we actually liked it better this way. That wider distribution gave the sole a sportier and slightly more casual look. So we left it as is. And who cares, after all, life is one big happy accident.
