Summit FT
Design: Yurri Mial, Development: Orlando Rodriguez, PLM: Katie Lau, Color: Stephen Li
The SUMMIT FT was a challenging but rewarding project because of the many details. I partnered closely with Orlando to work through the flat knit instep, Ariaprene tongue, and zipper collar Additionally, I collected material options based on material design meetings with Yurri for the vamp and heel overlay. We achieved the look of ripstop and scratch rubber with a warp knit and synthetic leather, respectively.
Charged Vantage
Design: Ed Wallace, Development: Matt Cougle, PLM: Barry Hewitt
The Charged Vantage was one of my first projects on the Core Run team. The shoe shares design details with the higher-priced HOVR Phantom 2. Ed and I selected the vamp material from the seasonal palette because it had a similar look to the HOVR Phantom 2 at the right price. The booty tongue construction and molded details help elevate this shoe at $80
