MAX FLYO

The design process for MAX flyo begins with ideation, where I explore the intersection of fashion, sport, and futurism. I gather inspiration from various sources, including fashion trends, athletic performance technologies, and futuristic concepts.After generating ideas and concepts, I translate them into rough sketches to visualize the initial designs. These sketches serve as a starting point for refining the concept further.Next, I transition to digital modelling using software like Blender. Here, I bring the concept to life in three dimensions, refining the shape, proportions, and details to achieve the desired aesthetic and functionality. Blender allows me to experiment with different design elements and iterate quickly to fine-tune the overall look of MAX flyo.Once satisfied with the 3D model, I move on to texturing, which is perhaps the most enjoyable part of the process. Texturing adds depth, realism, and personality to the shoe design. I experiment with various textures, colors, and finishes to enhance the visual appeal of MAX flyo while ensuring that it remains true to its futuristic and performance-driven ethos.Throughout the design process, I remain mindful of the fusion between fashion and sport, striving to strike a balance between style and functionality. Every decision, from the choice of materials to the placement of details, is guided by the overarching goal of creating a shoe that embodies innovation and versatility.By embracing a collaborative and iterative approach, the design process for Fusion Stride culminates in a footwear concept that transcends traditional boundaries, offering a glimpse into the future of footwear design.
