For this project, I designed and created a unique, handmade sneaker from scratch. The process began with detailed sketches of the upper and outsole, tailored to my last. To create the pattern for the shoe, I first taped my last, then sketched my design directly onto the taped surface.

I sourced the outsole from a thrifted sneaker, carefully selecting one that aligned with my design vision. Once I had all the components, I sewed the upper materials,and glued them to the outsole. I made sure to include details such as my Nnali logo and the beads string across the upper. The final product is a fully wearable, one-of-a-kind sneaker crafted entirely by hand, showcasing my skills in design, pattern-making, and manual construction.
