Custom High-Top Sneakers

I designed and handcrafted this pair of high-top sneakers at the Chicago School of Shoemaking and Leather Arts. From selecting materials and creating patterns to cutting, sewing, and assembling the shoes, I learned the fundamentals of sneaker construction. This project allowed me to combine my background in illustration and fashion design with traditional shoemaking techniques to create a unique, wearable design.
