V-Foam
Every step,back.
A supercritical foam, blown with nitrogen instead of chemicals. Light as a meringue, quicker than a trampoline.

(03) — Made
Baked,not glued.
The foam is shaped in a steel mould at 160 °C and filled with nitrogen under pressure. When the pressure drops, the cells open — millions of them, each smaller than a grain of salt.
No glue between foam and upper: they are pressed together while the foam is still warm.
