watched this while trying to design my own pair of shoes and didn't realise how I just sat through all of this but it was incredibly informative and helpful, but also relaxing :D
As a retired guy who doesn't have much to do , I've been looking into things I would've done b4 family and I always wanted to make shoes & upper end furniture. I actually saw several Korean ppl make shoes in person; decades ago. I'm 48 & I always enjoyed seeing the evolution of both through the 70s/80s/90s etc. I never thought I could just Google this subject & find such in depth information on this subject = incredible. Thank you kind sir
The amount of quality information given in this video is what we need more of in the design space. Much of this information is gate kept in the industry. Videos like this help younger designers like myself develop and advance raw skill sets.
Hi Michael, I love your work and videos, great stuff! The word "vamp" itself comes from the Old French word "avantpie," which is a combination of "avant" (meaning "before" or "front") and "pie" (meaning "foot"). Over time, this term evolved into the Middle English "vampe," referring to the piece of a shoe or boot covering the front of the foot. This term has been used in English since at least the 16th century. 👍
Your time and everything you share are very valuable.I really respect you and thank you sincerely for all videos.I wonder if you would share a detailed video on high jewellery drawing techniques?
This is an amazing video. I recently started learning about sneaker designing. Mr. Michael explains each step and the thought process behind it. I usually don't comment on youtube but this was very helpful that it made me write something down here to show my appreciation for the video.
Thank you so much for your wisdom and willingness to share your knowledge. This is very valuable information here, thank you again man your videos are amazingly in depth you’re such a great help and I appreciate your channel thanks…!!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad this video has been useful. I love to share what I've learned :-) I really appreciate the supportive comment!
Loved every minute of this session! Amazing how you came up with such a awesome looking shoe while delivering a well explained tutorial on the spot. Incredible. I have so many questions. Have you designed for Nike? Would love to wear something you’ve worked on. Also, did you take up any architectural classes to gain your knowledge on design? Where did you learn about the use of color? And do you work on any other products besides footwear?
Hi David, thanks for watching. Yes, I used to be a designer at Nike, Jordan and was a design director for Converse before starting my own consulting practice. I went to school for Industrial Design, which is a pretty common background for performance footwear designers. I have worked on just about everything in the last 25 years from watches and shoes, to cars and speed boats. You can see my work here: www.michaelditullo.com
So insightful. What *drew* you to footwear design? How did you niche down to one specific product? I'm new to ID but the whole space is fascinating and can't imagine focusing on one product so much.. Do you ever branch out? Or was it pure job relevancy that caused you to make the choice? Cheers and thanks.
Ok after subscribing and checking out your other content, my previous comment has become redundant. Still, great inspo, and any tips for a junior aspiring ID would be appreciated.
@@finnhanberg thanks for checking things out. My to biggest pieces of advice: 1: invest your time in "durable skills"... tools change quickly, thought process and core skills like sketching do not. 2: always share your work and be open to feedback. You never know who will see it, have great advice for you, help you get to the next level.
from Merriam-Webster "Middle English vampe, vaumpe "covering for the foot, upper of a shoe," borrowed from Anglo-French, probably truncated from *vampé, reduced form of avanpié, from avant- "fore-" + pié "foot," going back to Latin ped-, pēs "
Hi Michael, I just wanted to ask you a question about the Flex Notch. Would the Flex Notch typically go all the way along/across the surface (of the Midsole)Top Line of the Midsole? Thank you
Hi there! Thanks for watching. It really depends how much flex is desired. A shoe like a Nike Free has very deep flex notches which are achieved by putting blade like fins into the injection tooling making them very very flexible. A basketball shoe will need more lateral stability so the flex notches there might only be on the bottom and hidden on the top surface of the midsole under the foot itself. This leaves the side a solid wall of rubber and EVA to help keep the foot on the platform. There is no perfect way to do it. It really varies depending on the use case for the product and is a balance between flexibility and stability.
anybody in here design boots or have a willingness to teach? i really have a design i want to flush out but i’m extremely new to how the process works.

so glad it was useful, Diego! Thanks for watching.

@@SpeedFoe you are very welcome!
If we put "Swoosh" it's become Nike. If we put three stripes, it's become Adidas. If we put "N" it's become New Balance. ✌🏻
It has to be a good design no matter what logo is on it 🙂
What type of ruler are you using here Michael?
thanks for watching! It is from a brand called C-Thru
Difficult shoe design is looking for concepts, design stylisation
