ScoRo5 - Your sketches are very unique however from a styling point of view there are so many panels [i’m assuming they’re components] shapes, colour flashes all fighting for position, and i’m not sure if this is working. Generally with conventional footwear styling there are certain ways components are shaped too accentuate the curvaceaous lines on the vamp or to mirror the eyelet/facing panels. I think if you were to start and consider more conventional footwear patterns as a basis, and then work in your own styling elements then you may see more progression. The textures are also a bit puzzling as they’re making the shoe look more like paper mache.
good luck
