Adidas Samba “Blue Porcelain” Concept by Me One of my favorite themes to make concepts with is the blue porcelain ceramics, often referred to as delftware. I am excited about how well these turned out, I love the brown midsole. With some suede, cracked and tumbled leather, this pair would definitely look crazy in person! Let me know what you think! This is a concept made in Photoshop. I am not affiliated with adidas and this is not an official design. This is purely conceptual fan art. #sneakers #design #reels #adidas #adidassamba #customshoes
Adidas Gazelle Indoor "Etched Aluminum" Concept This Gazelle is inspired by a vintage cigarette case molded from aluminum. The inspiration can be found in the original post on my profile! It's always fun finding an item in real life and using the actual photos of it in a conceptual design to create something unique. Would you wear these? #adidas #explore #custom #reels gazelle #photoshop #samba #ootd #sneakers
Blue Porcelain ASICS Gel NYC Concept designed by Me. I absolutely love the look and feel of Blue Porcelain ceramics so I just had to see how it would look on my favorite ASICS silhouette! There are accents of cracked leather throughout in addition to some detailing on other panels to create a cracked effect. Definitely one of my favorite blue Porcelain designs I've done, what do you think? This is a concept made in Photoshop, this is not for sale and I am not associated with ASICS. #reels #sneakers #asics #design #concept #photoshop

Nike Dunk Low "Buttoned Up" Capsule designed by Me After a bit of a hiatus I am excited to share my new pack of conceptual Dunk Lows. The concept of the scattered buttons is inspired by a Yohji Yamamoto dress shirt titled "many buttons". I expanded the concept a bit by adding a mohair material to the toe box as well as a broken in leather to give the shoe a broken in feel. Let me know which color is your favorite!! More designs coming soon 🧑🏻‍🍳 Thinks a concept made in Photoshop, I am not affiliated with Nike and these products are purely concept and not for sale.

'Unown' Nike x Pokémon Dunk Low Concept by me One of the most fascinating Pokémon to me has always been Unown.

SuburbanMemories, my personal project, involves creating conceptual designs inspired by themes ranging from designer clothing to food items, serving as an exploration of Photoshop design. My profound passion lies in footwear design, finding fulfillment in seeing a design integrate seamlessly into someone's daily attire or sneaker rotation.

In my SuburbanMemories journey, I've crafted clothing designs, graphics, and social media videos to foster growth. Over 18 months, consistent posting and collaboration with fellow footwear design enthusiasts have led to a substantial following of 7,000, marking a significant milestone in this creative venture.
