Form 01

Stack of modern books and magazine with minimalist cover design on leather chair

project overview

Form 01 is a minimal utility sneaker designed to explore material, color, and construction without relying on surface graphics or branding. The intent was to create a clear, adaptable form that could work across different materials while maintaining consistent proportion. The shoe features a custom sole unit developed for traction and durability, paired with a simple three-panel upper. Panel geometry was kept efficient to support clean patterning, straightforward construction, and flexibility in material choice. The project established a solid baseline for future footwear work, grounding subsequent concepts in a clear form language and practical construction logic.
