Brief
Create a sneaker for active and sophisticated women. Combine style and comfort in a modern yet timeless design.

Work with a natural color palette, blending burgundy, terracotta brown, and golden accents to create an elegant and sophisticated aesthetic. Design each detail inspired by nature and Chinese culture, symbolizing dynamism and strength while offering a unique and distinctive style.

Result
A retro runner-style sneaker that blends style and practicality, perfectly suited for the everyday needs of active women.
