Leather shoes designed and handmade by me. I was going for a chill look while still eye catching and fun to wear. I took inspiration from a few of my favorite sneakers and wanted to make those pieces flow together in my first original sneaker. I used the last of a Jordan 1 and the sole from an old Nike Dunk.
Here are my sketches and my process photos. All the steps I went through from making the pattern, cutting the leather, sewing it together, and lasting. If you want more info and see my process check out the video I linked in the previous paragraph!
