Hammerhead tennis shoe.
An exercise in the visual design process, from pattern sketches to color model.
- Slits allow more flexibilty for a better fit and breathability
- Tread pattern provides grip for the lateral movement common in tennis as well as forward/backward movement
- Slits and tread take cues from a shark's gills
Steps in the process
Sketching sole ideas; trying out color schemes on the sketches; making rough foam models; and after the final model was made, trying different color schemes again using Photoshop.
Pencil, marker, styrofoam, Photoshop.
