Desert Shoe

Traditionally manufactured shoes are made to have a symmetrical balance between textile and pattern. For this project I wanted to created a shoe that used a single textile, but collage in an abstract process to create unique designs. I used a sneaker last to create a modern silhouette, while combining it with natural a crepe sole for comfort.
