Designing a versatile lifestyle shoe for the working homeless.

-NEW LIFE

New Life is a footwear design project with Portland-based developer Guerrilla Development. The design draws inspiration from ‘Jolene’s First Cousin’, a sustainable and affordable housing model aiming to solve Portland's severe homelessness issue.


Our team provides residents with an essential package for work, leisure, and outfitting. This includes a pair of lifestyle shoes crafted from Clarino™ leather for sustainability.


Construction

Inspired by foldable origami structures, the shoe design facilitates seamless transitions between work and home environments. The sole utilizes recycled Adidas Boost material for maximum comfort.
