FETAQ® — ALLFREE

Second project developed with FETAQ.

The first explored transition footwear, positioned between performance and lifestyle through a German Army Trainer reference.

With ALLFREE, the direction shifted.

I accepted this project because of its high-#performance focus and the opportunity to push my research further into pure functional territory.

The brief centered on #barefoot logic. Not as a trend, but as a question.

What happens when you remove everything that isn’t essential?

The process became reduction. Testing proportions. Refining layers. Deciding what stays and what goes.

The goal wasn’t to add more support. It was to understand where design should step back.

ALLFREE came out of that balance.

Less intervention.
More awareness.

Pinna Orb

From a speculative concept to a finished object, realised through 3D-printed technology and presented at the @sabukaru.online showroom during FW26 Paris Fashion Week.

Developed within the @aliveform.bio ecosystem, existing alongside the #Blade by @erlsn.acr of @acronym.gmbh
Parallel approaches to similar mechanical questions.

The project traces back to @coperni Paris Orbitale, a concept shared six months ago.
Enabled by @commeconception parallel design thinking, allowing ideas to evolve side by side rather than sequentially.

Designed together with Ping ( @commeconception )

To celebrate the release of #Sonic Crossworlds, here’s a recent project I worked on.
Designed the space, RC cars and Tee for a @sega ( @sonicthehedgehog ) x @mclaren x @loveracing.world collaboration.

Grew up with Sonic, so this one hit differently.
Still team Shadow antihero at its best.

Thanks to everyone involved.

The White Pack ❄️
Redesigned the upper from scratch — new lines, new structure.
I worked on both the #footwear and #apparel with Puma, shaped by Skepta’s creative direction.

Some moments from the process — pulled straight from the camera roll.
Big thanks to @skepta and @myles_omeally for setting the tone so well, and to the @pumasportstyle team for bringing it all together.

The A-COLD-WALL* Vector Runner was a key chapter for me
Designed at @arete_create in close collaboration with Samuel Ross
It was about translating ACW’s brutalist codes into something wearable
Layered, dense, and purpose-driven every detail had weight

Even the packaging followed the same logic
This wasn’t just a shoe
It was a design statement

From entropy to order.

Project 1 evolves Rimowa’s sculptural aesthetic into sneakers, balancing antinomic qualities—rigid TPU shells with dynamic form. Featuring a defining heel and a slip-on microfiber bootie, these sneakers merge bold utility with minimalist precision.

Project 2 translates this vision into mules, where sculptural lines and ribbed textures prioritize simplicity and comfort for travel. Designed to streamline movement, they distill Rimowa’s DNA into timeless functionality.

Footwear that redefines timelessness through precision.

The #Puma x #Skepta Skope Mid marks a defining project for me, where I had the unique chance to shape every detail—not only the footwear but also the apparel and initial duffle bag concept.
Collaborating with Skepta, whose creative vision and thoughtful approach were truly inspiring, alongside the dedicated team at Puma, made this journey unforgettable. While it’s a bit early to dive into the full design journey and the stories behind it, I’m incredibly proud of what we brought to life together.
Huge thanks to @myles_omeally , @skepta , and everyone involved—this project has been as rewarding in its process as in its final form​​.

Collaborating with Skepta, whose creative vision and thoughtful approach were truly inspiring, alongside the dedicated team at Puma, made this journey unforgettable. While it’s a bit early to dive into the full design journey and the stories behind it, I’m incredibly proud of what we brought to life together.
Huge thanks to @myles_omeally , @skepta , and everyone involved—this project has been as rewarding in its process as in its final form​​.

The #Puma x #Skepta Skope Mid marks a defining project for me, where I had the unique chance to shape every detail—not only the footwear but also the apparel and initial duffle bag concept.

Sakura: The Story Behind the Gel-Kayano 14 SPS

In 2020, #Asics gave me the chance to design a full collection. One shoe, codenamed #Sakura, became something more than just a piece of footwear—it became an exploration of how fragility and strength coexist in nature.

The concept began with Hayao Miyazaki’s #Mononoke Hime. In the film, nature is a powerful force—alive, resistant, and untamed. #Miyazaki portrays nature as something that is at once fragile and fierce, embodying a tension that felt central to what I wanted to achieve with this design.

The Sakura tree became the perfect symbol for this idea. Its blossoms are delicate and fleeting, but the tree itself is a quiet testament to resilience, standing strong season after season. I used suede panels to reflect this balance, creating a texture that feels natural and understated while maintaining its structural integrity. The material choice was about letting the design speak through its subtleties, much like how nature communicates strength through its quiet moments.

The Gel-Kayano 14 SPS is a study in contrasts—an oxymoron of sorts. Its form is delicate, yet strong. Refined, but rooted in depth. It reflects the paradox of nature itself, where fragility and power are never mutually exclusive but, instead, depend on one another.

2018. Shanghai. A new beginning.

I had just left the animation industry, wrapping up my work on F is for Family, a @netflix show. But something was missing. I wanted more. After a year of hard work, @yixi_q gave me the opportunity I had been dreaming of: footwear design.

Suddenly, I found myself in Shanghai, far from home, with little money, no connections, and a lot of fear. Every day felt like a tightrope walk—afraid of messing up, but determined not to miss this chance.

My first project was the @vans x @c2h4 collaboration. We had to make sure the all-over print was perfectly aligned across the panels—something that pushed me to my limits. The magnetic buckle we planned didn’t pass testing, so we focused on refining other elements. We added extra foxing tape with TPU skin film to give the Era a bolder, stronger silhouette. I designed a signature lacetip to channel C2H4’s narrative, and added subtle printed details on the tooling to nod to our first collaboration with Vans.

A personal highlight was the translucent PU label tag and the heat-pressed C2H4 logo on the suede heel cup. This was the first time I applied the redesigned C2H4 logo—a project I was entrusted with. That moment was a milestone for me, not just as a designer but as someone shaping the visual identity of the brand.

This project wasn’t just about creating a shoe—it marked the beginning of a career. I was scared, uncertain, but driven by passion. Every detail was crafted with that intensity.

Even now, I’m still that kid from the suburbs of Paris—scared, but relentless. I’ve come far, but at my core, I’m still geeking out over shoes. And I hope it always stays that way.

I’m incredibly proud and excited about the entire #Skepta & #Puma partnership.
I can’t reveal much right now, but I’ve been wearing these every day for the past few weeks, and each step is filled with pride.
