Kappa footwear collection

Over a year ago I designed a couple of footwear collections for Kappa, Italy with Hing Yeung from Hong Kong Stunt Team. He recently sent me photos of some of these shoes, which I can share with you here. These pics are a little taster of what will be displayed on our official website. When we update with this project on the website we will include sketches and development work for these collections. Should prove to be quite a large display as we did well over ten shoes per collection. 

Okay we will start with a range of color ways for a casual sport shoe inspired from classic wingtips. Notice the custom hardware eyelets, a design feature running throughout the collection.


 




 





Now we will move on to a casual running shoe. A simple shoe utilizing a cut EVA mid sole with a few interesting details to set this collection apart from the rest of casual running.




Notice the perforated heal counter!







Okay, now we will move on to a football (soccer) inspired casual sport shoe. The design of these shoes featured classic yet a slightly futuristic look combining gloss with matte finishes.






Now some tennis inspired footwear designs!
Low top and high top variants as well as Velcro and lace closures:





These are just a few examples from that collection but we also did boots, sandals, womens and many other categories for it. Stay tuned to the blog for more pics of the remaining shoes, or check in to our website middlecott.com under the footwear section when we update it in a few weeks to see a complete story of this collection including inspiration, sketches, development, pics, soles and much more.
