The brief

SOWL makes sneakers from recycled materials. For the launch of their newest model they did not want to sound like yet another well-behaved sustainable brand.

The idea

Let the shoe explode. Paint in the brand colours bursts out of the sneaker, as if the design does not fit its own shape. That one visual language carries the billboard, the flyer and the website.

From idea to result

The process

01

The key visual

A product shot of the sneaker, combined with drawn streams of paint and shards. All drawn by hand in Illustrator, so the image stays raw rather than polished.

02

Colour from the paint

Teal carries everything. The other four colours come straight from the paint in the key visual, so every flyer and every button on the site seems to come from the same image.

03

Typography

HvD Brevia for the headlines, round and heavy. Proxima Nova for everything that needs to be read.

04

The flyer

The flyer has everything you need: the launch date, a 15% discount and a QR code to the website.
