Tools: Blender 3D (Cycles)
What is currently available
Modern lifestyle and running sneakers often prioritize either style or performance, but few achieve a perfect balance between the two. This project seeks to address this gap by examining the current designs of lifestyle and running shoes to make one of my own design that seamlessly integrates functionality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
Some shoes that I thought were interesting. Were used for reference and inspiration.
Sketches I made to show different forms and color schemes
OrthoCAD Models
I started creating the model in Blender. I wanted to make sure that the proportions were accurate, so I used a reference photo of a real shoe.
