Adidas Next Step

Experimenting







Nice to see you experimenting with construction.
I hope you don’t mind but I took a few minutes to play with the proportions on your latest rendering. It is not perfect, but you can see the idea

Crewkid:
Thanks for contributing to the experiment. You know something, I’m confused about what you tell me, I do not doubt your knowledge about it. But I have drawn in the shape of the adizero line.
The shape of the shoes Adizero is different from most shoes.

confusion:

Should designers work with shapes (shoe lasts) strictly?
Or can also submit proposals for designs in the form of a certain style?

I think of the designs in the final form, for example in the shape of the shoe I want in the window of the store. In this case, based on adizero line.

How can you achieve that distinctive shape (at the factory)?
They make the shoe lasts (Especially for that style?)
How do you communicate (visually), a style like adizero, for manufacturing?
In this case, the design idea of ​​"tactical" is to create a shoe that looks like a insdustrial boot (synthetic cap for finger protection). How can we make a shape like that (in the factory and in a screen)?
How can give personality to a shoe? With different shapes of molds for shoes?
Tell me what you think, looks weird this style of this shoe?


Should designers work with shapes (shoe lasts) strictly?
If you have a last shape this is ideal, but not necessary for just sketch work. As you move into a more finished design/rendering it can help a lot. If you are using a last, besure to allow for material thickness.
Or can also submit proposals for designs in the form of a certain style?
You can use a certain style if you like. It is good that you started with an existing shoe shape, but you will want to stylize your drawings a bit to make them visually more appealing. A lot of designers will tilt the heel forward and make the toe sleeker. Even the adizero sketch does this

Im not a huge fan of the adizero proportions, but here is your rendering adjusted to the sketch proportions…

Thanks Crewkid. This is the style of the designer who made the shoes adizero. Everyone draws their own way. I like the shoes adizero, because these are rare, these are not beautiful, but different, a different beauty. I will do an analysis of that.


I was thinking of an original way to present the views of the design. It’s fun with a cube template.


Although this shoe is inspired to:
military
marine
cops
Fire Department
And people who want to reflect their job in their sports activities, the threshold of the buyer can be extended by using contrasting colors, and white.



Victor, what program do you use for your rendering?

thanks

Greetings.

The next exercise will be random, any inspiration, but inside the adizero line (Tech). Although I have already prepared a concept, perhaps, if the final result can be adapted to advertising, then do it in that way. I´ll do my best effort of time-quality-passion.

Thinking about the controversial patent of the red soles of Louboutin , think I can explore luxurious designs, shiny materials, patent leather, silk fabric on the upper, red sole. Designed for women, of course, within the adizero style.



Something inspired by the leaf springs of cars.
A beautiful piece of machinery adapted to the sole of a shoe.


No ideas for advertising.
