Information

      A shoe becomes a canvas.
Not just worn – but designed.

Flowing lines cut through the leather like movement itself: organic, vibrant, unique. Each cut is not a coincidence, but an idea – the combination of design, technology and individuality.

This is not a pattern.
That's a statement.

AImake: I now create an SVG-capable engraving template that transfers the pattern from the second image to the upper sole area of the reference shoe.

Step5: Placing Patterns

Placing the pattern correctly is time-consuming, as the background does not take over the exact dimensions of the sneaker. The XCS app copes well with flat templates, but with the sneaker, which is 9cm high, the proportions are not quite right. That's why I marked points on the sneaker with the crosshairs and scaled the engraving graphic accordingly.

Step6: Engrave and hope that everything fits
