About The Sneaker Calceamenta

Calceus "The Sneaker" appellatus tam ad convivia quam ad ludos aptus est, simul asper et elegans. Color ater opacus cum ornamentis aureis, ornamento parvo ligulae affixo. Solea detrita mutari potest, quo modo vita calceorum paene perpetua fit. Singuli calcei ab artificibus peritis separatim consuuntur.

Design Challenge: The challenge was internal to find a producer with focus on the environment, I wanted it to be located in Europe, no mass production, it was important that it was created by hand by skilled craftsmen.
Research: During my many years in the product design industry I have always looked at the sneakers industry, even when there are many existing designs there is always space for improvements.
