Initial outline sketch.

Iteration on initial sketched outline. Added contouring for rubber sole.

Final rough iteration of sketch. Note that current aesthetic is that of a basketball sneaker. Laces and bulky design are chosen to be retracted to improve comfort, reduce weight, and "blend in" more as casual wear.

Modeling sketch in CAD software by mapping out rectangle segments to form as sculpting texture. Initial profile is utilized to be reformed later on.
Made using a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 in Autodesk Fusion 360.
Rectangular segments are now extruded from the origin and geometry is mirrored on this plane to give shoe width. Segments are pressed and pulled to form a non-uniform shape to contour the user's foot.

The arch of the shoe is re-formed to be in proportion with shoe as outside edges were reshaped.

The toe of the shoe is adjusted to provide ample protection and comfort to the user without restricting natural toe movement as the user walks/runs. Used general profiles of both cross-training shoes as well as business-casual shoes to determine proper ratio.

Branding logo as well as sole contours are drawn out on central axis and then mirrored into cuts on the individual face contours. This allows for each individual shape to be modified as a set object while still being structurally part of the entire shoe.

Cuts in faces are now done and shapes are pulled outwards and recessed. This is to add texture to the design. Added texture is purely aesthetic and does not serve any known improvements over functionality.

Shape of shoe is now fully sculpted. Nike logo is apparent on both inner and outer edges of shoe. Laces and bulkier profile are all absent in this instance of the render as I have opted for a more casual and lighter looking shoe. Texturing and lines from basketball sneaker are kept to introduce a sense of "fusion" between basketball sneaker and casual cross-fit.

Final stages of modeling. Colour and materials are selected. Matte leather-like materials, cloth, and rubber to be used as materials are cheap and easy to manufacture. Recycled materials are to be used so that shoe has smaller impact on environment.

Materials are decided upon after experimentation with different colours. A mostly black shoe with blue and white highlights makes the shoe stand out and capture the eye without elements of being flashy and obnoxious (hopefully).

Final render (side profile) of Nike Rouncey. Name chosen as it is unsuspecting in regards to aesthetic, yet has more ability than what meets the eye. Similar to a rouncey, which is a general work horse.
Rendered using a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 utilizing Autodesk Fusion 360's cloud rendering feature (The Surface Pro 4 does not have a discreet graphics card so rendering times would be exceedingly long).
Isometric-esque profile view of Nike Rouncey. This view allows for depth of shoe as well as length to be observed.

Nike Rouncey Concept Design
Original concept sketch-turned full product render. Initial design concept was based off of a Nike basketball shoe. The intent of this project was to create a shoe meant for cross-training with ties to Nike's iconic basketball sneaker aesthetic. The shoe is intended to be very lightweight and made of premium materials, so that it can be worn for casual occurrences as well as fitness.
