Research, Development, Design

The beating heart of innovation

The Research & Development – Design team of JV International sees the “product” as the result of a structured process, made up of research, development, passion and commitment. The product is configured as a synthesis of concepts “surface” and “contact“.

Each of our solutions starts from the consideration of the end experience of different people, with the aim of making it safe, performing and stylish. 

This “experience driven” approach is the “obsession” that drives our researchers and designers every day to develop the best possible solutions and to define also the better suitable compounds. In this way we design the “performances” and so we obtain, not only a “sole”, but much more: the best experience, everywhere.

This is how JV International empowers its brand-partners, allowing them to change the rules of the game and make a difference in the following areas: Sports & Outdoor, Work & Uniform, Fashion & Lifestyle.

Global Thinking & taylor made solutions

Our designers make their international background available to brand partners. The result is highly customized solutions, which are conceived, obtained and produced in a path of listening and collaboration with our clients.

Technologies

Discover the range of our exclusive solutions.

Description

The technology allows to combine an extremely light and rigid carbon-fiber component with a multi-compound rubber tread that will offer the necessary performance in terms of grip and stability.

The core of Carbon Rubber is the “lamination coupling technology” between the carbon fiber element and the multicompound rubber tread.

Benefits

Description

Fiberlite technologies allow the creation of very light and flexible reinforced soles by integrating a thin special fabric, in order to develop soles to bring performance to the highest level and, consequently, overcome the limits of more traditional construction solutions.

Benefits

Description

The name Formula refers to a technologies that characterize a family of specific compounds with an innovative production process.
They can be applied in various categories of footwear where high grip performance is required even in extreme conditions.

Benefits

Description

Hybrid 1 technologies refers to the recovery of waste materials deriving from previous productions process of rubber products and reintegration in sole compound.

Thanks to Hybrid 1 technologies, it is possible to obtain a range of compounds that aim to reduce the environmental impact from the process while maintaining an high level of performance.

Benefits

Description

The Winter technology offers solutions to enhance the grip on ice, packed snow and slippery surfaces at low temperatures. Through specific technical design elements, combined with a specific rubber compound, it is possible to achieve excellent grip and stability performances in cold conditions.

Benefits

Description

The Mod mousse technology is a patented sole-system with multiple materials providing better comfort, grip and traction on outdoor (irregular) terrains. Thanks to its specific design of both rubber and expanded foams, the sole maintains contact with the ground securing constant adherence and excellent traction. The system works with 3 layers like a tyre; the structure (in EVA or PU), the “traction” (tread rubber) and the “Air-chamber” (can be PU or EVA).

Benefits

Description

Rubber TPU technologies refer to a manufacturing process in which TPU material is coupled directly over vulcanized rubber, creating a single body.

This technology creates an ideal bond between two materials with opposite characteristics: TPU, which gives stability, dimensional accuracy, rigidity and high slip on wet and cold surfaces; vulcanized rubber, which offers grip, flexibility, shock and vibration absorption.

Rubber TPU allows to achieve high performance in conditions in which these antithetical characteristics are required in the sole at the same time.

Benefits

Description

Bio Based Technology is a technology that defines a range of compounds made from bio-based materials. This technology replaces materials derived from fossil sources, while maintaining high performance in different application fields.

The Bio Based Technology solution means to realize high-quality and high-performance soles, by providing a remarkable reduction in fossil fuel materials.

Benefits

Description

The Traction power system is a technology that can produce an ideal bond between two thermoplastic materials with antithetical characteristics. This innovation makes it possible to obtain a sole with high rigidity and, at the same time, high tread grip on slippery terrain.

This technology, thanks to a reasonable structural flexibility, allows you to maintain an efficient pedalling when you are in the saddle while you have traction and grip in the stretches where you need to walk, ensuring greater ergonomics as well as durability and self-cleaning.

Context & Conditions | jv international

The Research & Development division is the driver of our success: we constantly analyze global demand and trends, we study movement in all its forms, in every context and in every climatic, environmental and situational condition.

Guided by this approach, we then propose a technological concentrate of ideas, solutions, design and materials that can “complete” and elevate footwear in terms of performance, aesthetics and style.
