Minimalist Sneaker Concept Designer

Job ID: 39941734

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I have a clear vision for a minimalist trainer line and need a designer who can translate that vision into production-ready concept art. Material selection sits at the heart of this project, so every sketch should highlight how leather, knit, suede, mesh—or any other innovative fabric you propose—shapes the story of the shoe. Although the overall aesthetic is pared-back, I want each pair to carry dynamic, bold silhouettes that feel fresh but still reference classic and vintage models where it makes sense.

You will receive a concise brief (under NDA) outlining theme, cultural touch-points, palette and visual direction. From there I’m looking for two to three polished concept drawings that make the identity and function of the sneaker immediately clear—sole, upper, lining, panels and hardware all called out, with proportions and small details dialled in for sampling.

I’m flexible on schedule; quality is more important than speed. If you’re comfortable sketching by hand or in tools such as Procreate, Photoshop, or Illustrator—and you know your way around sneaker construction—I’d love to see how you’d bring this vision to life.
