Designing a Nike Air Max Concept with Vizcom

I recently used Vizcom to create the iconic Nike Air Max concept. Here’s a quick look at my process:

Sketching the Concept: I started with a hand-drawn sketch, focusing on refining proportions and overall silhouette.

Uploading and Prompting: After uploading the sketch to Vizcom, I adjusted the drawing and added prompts to explore different influences and design directions.

Final Rendering: Using Vizcom’s image reference tool, I added colors and materials to the final render, creating a dynamic, fully realized concept that captures the essence of Nike Air Max—all in a fraction of the usual time.

Inspired by the interlocking structure of climbing ropes, Crossweave translates braided rope patterns into the form language of footwear. The woven geometry creates a sculptural silhouette while referencing the aesthetics of outdoor climbing gear.

Around this time last year, I wrapped up the Pensole x Wolverine Worldwide 5-week intensive program.
That experience led me to an opportunity to work with Merrell. Over the past eight-plus months, I’ve been learning, growing, and building alongside a truly strong team.
My first footwear design is moving along well, and if everything stays on track, it’s planned for Spring/Summer 2027.
Grateful for this journey — and excited to keep creating with Merrell.

Last Friday I attended the @blackfootwearforum at @plcdetroit and joined the @officialsketchbattle sponsored by @nike and @vizcom_ . My prompt was to design the ultimate skateboard shoe that celebrates creative expression — from the street to the park — while pushing the boundaries of both style and performance.

My design explored Nike’s Foamposite material for durability in skateboarding, while strategically placing the @converse Converse star to increase board contact, enhance flex, and strengthen high-wear areas. The material pack came in two finishes: a glossy Foamposite option that allows skaters to graffiti and customize their pairs, and a rubberized Foamposite option designed for hardcore riders needing extra grip.

Although my concept didn’t win a prize, I’m very grateful to Sketchbattle, PLC, and Nike for building this amazing platform. I also want to give a big shoutout to my Merrell coworkers who came to the event to cheer me on — I truly appreciate the support!

Big thanks to @plcdetroit , @officialsketchbattle , and Nike for building such an amazing platform for young talents to showcase creativity. 🙏
Also grateful for my @merrell teammates who came to cheer me on!
Here’s my 1-hour rendering timelapse for Converse performance skateboard shoes — fast-paced, challenging, and fun.
Inspired by the Converse star, I created a foamposite structure that supports flex zones, improves durability, and even allows skaters to leave their own marks, drawings, or signatures on the surface.
Didn’t win an award this time, but the experience itself was already a huge win.

It’s been a while since I started experimenting with image-generated AI, and I’m still blown away by the creativity and quality it offers.

✨ Honored and thrilled to announce that I’ve been selected to join the PLC x Wolverine Worldwide 5-Week Certificate Program! ✨

For this project, I designed WildPursuit – a trail-running shoe made specifically for women who embrace adventure and thrive in rugged environments. Inspired by the strength and agility of natural predators, WildPursuit combines a dual-density midsole with an embedded stability structure, a claw-like outsole for exceptional grip on rocky surfaces, and a breathable mesh and suede upper. It’s built to empower fearless women as they conquer the toughest terrains. 🏞️🧗‍♀️

Excited to dive into this program and continue pushing the boundaries of design! Thank you, @plcdetroit and @wolverineworldwide , for this amazing opportunity. Let’s make some magic happen! 🔥
