Ultimate Waffle [Mid CT]
Lifestyle/Skate/Basketball
Spring — 2022




‘Ultimate Waffle’ technology was introduced by the Vans AVE Pro and the ethos of the design is to expose the internal features of comfort and support and express an expertice in design. My goal was to blend the clear and classic rubber toe with an influence from basketball where clear soles evoke a feeling of nostalgia for sneakerheads and skate shoe dreamers.

It’s no secret we live in an ever evolving world, sometimes the last thing youd expect is exactly what plays out, that can be the excitement that grabs a consumers attention. Vans made Basketball shoes in the 1970s, through the short lived Serio footwear collection, so maybe this stretch from Vans its all that far fetched. 




The universe now appeared to me as a void wherein floated rare flakes of snow, each flake a universe.
