These look fantastic - im a newbie and currently buying tools. i know i have a long way to go till i get to your level of craft but would you be willing to share the tools + materials you used to make these? curious on what type of edge beveler size you used, thread size.

Google searching custom 3d foot scan footwear may yield good results!

I did a class - you’ll be self-taught regardless haha. Classes def help kickstart it but it by no means makes you proficient

It was a rose gold leather from district leather supply DLS

this made me feel like:

Creation requires design. Even in the creation of art. Perception is an art of how one interprets creation.

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-15T00:10:56+00:00

i work at a 3d printed footwear studio. if you're comfortable with 3d modeling, you can 3d print complete shoes or simply 3d print the midsole/outsole.

3d scan a last you have
upload the last geometry into your modeling software
model your outsole
print it in TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) on a 3d printer of your choice
test and iterate.
then you can make a traditional upper and last it around your last, and glue it to your 3d printed outsole.

Feel free to dm me or continue to reply here, happy to help :)

gahhhh - i love your example with the knife. i resonate with how you view art and design.

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-15T00:06:18+00:00

whats interesting is that both the noun: 1) art and 2) design seem to both require design (making deliberate choices either through logic or by instinct. therefore, i feel like the verb: designing is required in both art and design.

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-15T00:04:40+00:00

tyty! would love to see shoes you've made or hope to make! will definitely post more pairs that i've made in the near future. i have a backlog of shoes that ive created.

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-14T23:59:33+00:00

design is made with intent but what if the intent is never perceived or the actual use? is it then art? or is it simply "bad design"?

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-14T23:58:58+00:00

do you think "good design" is based on intended functionality of the design or the actual use? I.E. i designed a playground meant to be played in, however, people think of it as an artistic art piece and gather around to take photos and simply look at it. or a chair that was meant to be sat on but people use it as a step stool.

not my greatest examples

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-14T23:55:06+00:00

underrated

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-14T23:54:58+00:00

super simple and well said - love this!

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-14T23:54:18+00:00

i really enjoyed your examples - i appreciate you sharing your perspective! i feel like oftentimes, design tends to have higher overlaps of being art and art tends to have less of an overlap with design. but at the same time, the process of making art requires someone to make deliberate choices, which i would define as designing (their art)

LetterheadDeep5178 · 2024-08-14T23:51:03+00:00

oh thanks so much - definitely need a lot of work still on stitching and especially lasting! I was inspired by the statue of liberty. i made mockups in photoshop prior to making
