Brick Lane

Footwear Design — Unisex

Inspired by the cobblestone roads along the famous market street of East London, this footwear collection encapsulates the concept of walking around cities and taking bits of the pavement along with you, bringing the roads you’ve traveled to the trails less traveled.

Made for the transient city to trail explorer, these five hiking boot concepts explore functional versatility and aesthetic adaptability supported by material and styling choices. Through the interaction of nature’s trail with a simple urban aspect – the cobblestone road, this concept informs aspects like raw, gritty textures and oversized outsoles while incorporating functional and responsible materials like upcycled canvas and regenerative leather for breathability, traction, and water resistance in addition to a sensory liquid feature in the outsole, made to interact with the wearer every step of the way.
