Inspired by the Apollo moon landing and astronaut attire, this design draws from the shape of the first shoes worn in space. The use of silver materials throughout conveys a sense of the cosmos, combined with fabrics, accessories, and components from space suits, including functional buckles and steel cables. The lunar landing serves as the backdrop, with the midsole crafted from molding paste to replicate the texture of the moon’s surface. The color scheme is predominantly white, with red laces and zippers as accents. Steel cables highlight the structure of the cat claw shoes, while the toe design is based on the moon boots, using heat-molded silver coating to enhance the look. The design includes asymmetrical lace holes to reflect a sense of deconstruction and elongates the shoe's original length and height. The iconic structure of the cat claw shoe's outsole is preserved, but the edges have been deliberately distressed with molding paste, creating a more cohesive and harmonious overall aesthetic.
This design features intangible cultural heritage elements, focusing on flower and grass paper as the core motif. It blends traditional and modern elements, nature and emotion, using pink tones, flower and grass paper, red threads, and floral motifs. The aim is to create a pair of custom shoes rich in emotional significance.The shoe body incorporates a rip-and-tear effect to add layers and depth. Red thread is used as a connecting element, symbolizing the bond of love in Chinese culture, where the red thread represents the tie of fate in relationships. Combined with the rustic texture of the flower and grass paper, this design creates a warm and romantic visual effect, symbolizing the purity and beauty of love.
The design inspiration for "Blue Dream" comes from the stark contrast between purity and pollution. The overall style leans towards tech-punk.
A pristine, unpolluted ocean: the overall design features white and blue as the primary colors, offering a clean and tidy visual experience. The materials mainly include patent leather and transparent elements, with a glossy finish that evokes a sense of freshness and purity. The solid-colored resin embodies the ocean's original state, clean, natural, and untouched.
The design is filled with ocean waste elements, featuring predominantly low-saturation colors. The materials include distressed denim, cork, and some pollutants from the ocean as accents. The overall style is worn and weathered, representing how different types of ocean waste persist in the sea over long periods. This design contrasts the concept of pollution with the clarity and purity of the ocean, aiming to provoke thought about the issue of ocean waste and the natural environment that humanity depends on. It calls for a more sustainable way of coexisting with our environment.
