Building Shoes from scratch

[wokeupsleepy]

Overtime, I have seen a whole lot of sneakers that were built up from scratch. Has anyone made any Shoes from scratch ? Im thinking about building my own. I would be happy to see some others attempts at this.

im not sure what you mean first off you need an outsole,so are you using a production pair or trying to make your own?start there you can build the upper just check out emmanuel labor excuse the spelling

I was plannin on taking a midsole+outsole from Nike hoop structure And build an upper

As for emmanuel labor, He still uses the upper from the original shoe and changes some things up, i plan on making my own upper from scratch

This is the drawup for the sneaker

I've thought about taking a bunch of different shoes and combining the parts that I liked about them into one shoe.
I have a list of kicks I need and I don't have the money to afford all of them.
The shoe was to be made to suit my needs on the court. So basically my favorite cushioning, traction, heel fit, etc.
But that's not really from scratch it's more like a frankenstein mash up of shoes.

This seems like too much for anything less than a master shoe builder. You need molds and a lot of knowledge.
