Previously drew by hand the design and the patterns on the shoe last and after I scanned and vectorized everything using Illustrator.

When the patterns were digitalized I laser cut every part in elastic fabric and thermoadhesive interlining to make the Upper structure.

I cut the same pattern several times to test different prints that resemblance an ancient Chinese pottery.
To create the sole I made a research in football footwear and the different kind of soles that were used for that sport.

I decided I wanted to keep the aesthetic of classic football sole but with modified cleats in the back so they looked like small heels.
(Ref. Jean Paul Gaultier elevated heels SS93)

With the help of my design teacher we created this sole using Rhino 3D and we printed it in white PVC to check mesures 1:1
