Capsule Professional Volleyball Shoes in Crochet with Monogram Hardware

Capsule Professional Volleyball Shoes in Crochet with Monogram Hardware

A Construction Firm approached us to develop a capsule professional volleyball shoes around a single idea: monogram hardware, executed in crochet. The capsule was destined for Norway and needed capsule 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 previous factory could not hold consistency across sizes
• Decoration durability failed after two washes
• Unit costs were too high for a boutique price point

What we specified

How it was built

1. Reference garments and moodboards were translated into a measurement spec, not just photos.
2. Crochet was confirmed with lab dips and a hand-feel approval before grading.
3. The professional volleyball shoes was prototyped on the fit model, then revised twice before pre-production.
4. Monogram Hardware was applied in a controlled process to keep every piece consistent.
5. Bulk ran with in-line inspection; a photo report was shared before shipment.

Result

• 1,500 pieces delivered inside the 10-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the approved quotation.
• The a Construction Firm launched on schedule and reordered the same specification next season.

What we would repeat

Approve the hand feel on the actual bulk fabric — proto cloth always behaves differently.
