This is an exercise, from an idea by the client, to customise sneakers so that young people can change their appearance by inserting cards around the sneakers exterior. 

My work covered the steps from concept to manufacture:

- Concept ideas

- CAD design development

- Prototypes manufacture and testing

- Design for manufacture

Sneakers customisation

The sneakers have transparent pockets in which cards can be inserted and removed

Inserts can be placed on both sides and the front. At the rear, the pockets provide easy access place the inserts by opening them. They have fasteners to close them at the back

The sneakers without inserts look like ordinary white sneakers

The inserts can be coloured cards, images, favourite pop artists, or even promotional material given to the wearer

Placing an insert

Test on prototypes to prevent the pockets from getting damage where the sneakers bends when walking
