Cosmonaut

The shoe design originated from a long-held sketch inspired by post-apocalyptic, government-issued footwear. The concept features secure, multi-closure systems and uses leftover materials like yellow ripstop, grey suede, and red leather piping. The design evolved from sketch to prototype, facing challenges with pattern adjustments—especially the yellow ripstop shroud. The midsole was hand-shaped from stacked EVA foam, and the rubber outsole, inspired by Vibram's Wraptech, was crafted with upward-extending elements for an integrated look. Despite setbacks,  shoe's innovative design, functionality, and craftsmanship are an accomplisment.
