This whimsical urban park concept is visually arranged by Los Angeles-based studio Design, Bitches. The architecture firm works alongside digital publication Dezeen and adidas Originals in the creation of 'Stomping Grounds.'
The initative is part of the P.O.D.System Architecture project and it is a clear instance where two industries meet. Design, Bitches is commissioned in developing an urban park concept that references and embraces the features of adidas' recently launched P.O.D.System shoe. The new footwear model boasts the brand's "greatest hits from different shoes" and these properties play an integral part in Design, Bitches' urban park concept. The layout boasts "a new kind of social space" that offers a whimsical platform designed to host a vast range of different activities. From the fusion of a skateboarding ramp, a pool and a performance stage to rock climbing walls with elevated running tracks, the urban park concept will surely motivate people to "return again and again."
