Lifestyle Sneaker Concept Designer Needed

I’m gearing up to launch a lifestyle sneaker line aimed squarely at the youth/teen market and need a designer who can take the rough vision I have on paper and turn it into production-ready footwear. Trend awareness and originality are non-negotiable, but what really matters is an eye for branding and detailing—think logos that feel native to street culture, texture overlays that pop on social feeds, and clever touches on lace tips, insoles, and packaging.

You’ll start by sketching silhouettes and evolving them into polished renderings that clearly specify materials, color stories, and every small accent the factory will need. If you thrive on streetwear aesthetics, even better, but the priority is a fresh lifestyle look that resonates with younger consumers rather than hardcore performance athletes.

Deliverables I’m expecting:
• 3–5 distinctive lifestyle sneaker concepts (side, top, outsole views)
• Material and colorway call-outs with Pantone or CMYK references
• Branding & detailing mock-ups, including logo placements, textures, trims, and packaging ideas
• Final production-ready files (AI, PSD, or 3D if you prefer) plus a concise style guide so manufacturers know exactly what to build

Students with strong portfolios are welcome, as are seasoned freelancers who can hit the ground running. If sneakers and street culture are already your passion, let’s make something memorable together.
