RE-DESIGN

The design of the shoe was deemed to look too much like the competition so a redesign was decided on in order to make the shoe look more unique.

Using AI images provided from the footwear designer, 3 concepts were made based off the silhouette of the original water shoe.

FINAL DESIGN

X-3415 Last

After solidifying Concept 3 as the final design, the last was changed from X-3415 to X-3788H. Even with the change in lasts, the proportions of the shoe had to be the same and the 3D model had to reflect that change.
