Nike Spaceview

Seattle's Space Needle turned into a sneaker.

PRODUCT BRIEF

DESIGN A NIKE SHOE THAT TAKES THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS OF THE SPACE NEEDLE IN SEATTLE, WA.

The Space Needle is Seattle's most recognizable icon in the sky. When it opened in 1962 the top was painted a bold orange that stood out against the city. I wanted to catch that in a Nike sneaker, mixing the architecture with something you can actually wear. The palette tells the story. Tan for the concrete base, orange for the original top, black for the central support and blue for the glass-wrapped viewing deck. I used Procreate for the sketch, NewArc for the AI render and Photoshop for the touchups. What local landmark should I turn into a shoe next?
