Color Research and 3D-Modeling

The Nike Air Huarache is the inspiration for my sneaker design. Based on my found out color-trend, I adept colors, materials, and other elements to it.

SNEAKER MODELING & TEXTURING
FOCUS: COLOR & MATERIAL

The Cosmic Color & Material sneaker is modeled and textured in Maxon Cinema 4d and rendered with the rendering plug-in “Redshift.” The origin of its form is the Nike Air Huarache, but I changed the shape and added some elements to it to create a unique style. Instead of laces, it has buckles like inline skates, which is the most considerable adaption to the idea of a “cosmic look. “The final colors & materials also follow the idea of a cosmic look. As mentioned, the colors are part of the “cosmic color concept “project based on a trend scouting workshop.

COLOR & TREND STUDIES

The outcome is a trend mood board, which contains the mood of a kind of an “80’s-ish future look” that combines nature with currently new materials. Also, a big contrast between general artistic impressions and fashion and architecture can be described.
Based on the displayed pictures, six colors were defined. Out of the first defined six colors, a second color range that reveals this color research’s final result has been determined. The color collection is named “cosmic colors.”

We prepared three thousand pictures out of current magazines and websites (fashion, architecture, design) and placed them on tables to explore and sort them for a trend scouting workshop. The outcome was trend mood boards.
