About

Hi, this is Devin Jiang. Growing up, I loved playing basketball and dreamed of going pro. When I realized that I wasn't going to get that much taller, my focus shifted to more creative pursuits and my connection to footwear.Today, as a Footwear Designer, I create designs that evoke emotion, tell a story and connect with people. From visualization to conceptualization, I experiment with shape, form, and texture, creating a vibe, a message behind the product. Footwear connects to people, their lifestyle, their passion, empowering self expression. The combination of creativity and function, allows me to engage in the whole journey, elevating the mental and physical experience of the user. Through design, I create footwear that not only looks good but provides a more inspired connection.

This project is a conceptual loafer for NIKE, made with eco-friendly upper materials. Inspired by the resilience and growth cycle of fungi. People should draw energy from nature to grow into a better version of themselves.
