Luxe Professional Volleyball Shoes in Tencel with Smocked Panel
A Marathon Organizer approached us to develop a luxe professional volleyball shoes around a single idea: smocked panel, executed in tencel. The capsule was destined for Mexico and needed luxe finishing that reads designer on the rail while staying repeatable in bulk. This case study records the brief, the specification and the delivery.
The challenge
- The sample did not match the runway reference
- Decoration durability failed after two washes
- Delivery missed the collection launch window
