Sneaker Design

Each Sneaker Design Project explores the notion of how incorporating the field of illustration into sneaker design can transform footwear into a piece of art that can walk the line between avant-garde and ready-to-wear. These projects are explored by an illustrator taking on the role of a footwear designer to amplify the personality of sneakers through functionality, silhouette, and organic shape language. Thus, emphasizing how storytelling and imagination can produce a one-of-a-kind collector's piece. While the first sneaker has been developed into a final sneaker sample with the use of a fully developed tech pack; the other five sneakers have been created using 3D Virtual Reality Technology such as Gravity Sketch, and 3D rendering program, KeyShot for the application of realistic materials.
