winter outsole project
(2023-present)
The idea behind the outsole: I wanted to create my own outsole for winter use for boots and sneakers. living in chicago you're faced with many challenges; one of those challenges is winter. because weather is uncontrollable, we as citizens have to choose what we wear outside corresponding to the weather outside our living spaces. sometimes we still want to wear something that looks stylish and will risk ruining our nice shoes on salted roads and sidewalks. This sole would help bypass salt with an elevated heel and toe area to act as a splashguard against snow and slush. The outsole would be strapped down to the footwear placed inside of it with a nylon strap going over the arch of your foot.
