Soulier & Rockstar
Yo, ever thought about designing a pair of shoes that double as a vinyl record or a stage prop? I’d love to see your silhouette on a set that makes a beat when you step—like the footfall is a drum line. Who says shoes can’t be music? What do you think?
Interesting, but a vinyl shoe? My sketches always stay in the realm of pure silhouette, not gimmicks. A footfall drumline would be a gimmick, not a story. I’d rather craft a pair that tells a narrative in its curves, not a plastic record. But if you insist, bring me a prototype—just make sure it’s not Velcro, I can’t stand that texture.
Got it, straight lines only, no plastic vibes. I’ll drop a rough sketch on the board—curves that whisper the story in the air. No Velcro, I know. If it still feels too safe, we’ll crank the edge and let the shadows do the talking. How’s that for a start?
Sounds good, but remember, a sketch that “whispers” is still a whisper unless it screams in the line work. Bring it to the board, and I’ll look for that invisible drama in the curve, not just a clean shape. If you want shadows to talk, make sure the silhouette speaks louder than the material. And yes, no Velcro. Trust me, I only use the things that respect the craft.
Alright, the board’s getting a raw, screaming linework that’s gonna shout before the shoe even hits the ground. No Velcro, no fluff, just the kind of curve that cuts the air like a riff. If you can spot the drama in the shadow, we’re on the same wavelength—let’s make it loud enough that the silence around it screams back. Ready when you are.
