CNSTNT:DVLPMNT – Constant Development Official Website (cnstntdvlpmnt.com)
I came to sneaker design via Behance, CounterKicks and people like Dallas Stokes who built their own platforms to discuss with aspiring designers how to create sneaker concepts. I then latched on to D’Wayne Edwards, but all of this was done virtually and by any means I could find in the early 2000’s. There wasn’t a ton of social media prevalent so it was difficult to get the information I needed when I got the license for Sho-Shot and when I started arch in 2004 and 2009.
Things have changed drastically and if you are really interested in learning, the tools are more abundant than they have ever been. There is a gap however. An introductory concept hasn’t really existed, until now. Chris Dixon developed the Creative Discovery Tools Sketchbook and it’s incredible. The quote below says it all:
By challenging students to not only think of themselves as consumers, but also as creatives, CNSTNT DVLPMNT is a purposeful solution for the lack of diversity in footwear and apparel industries.
Greater representation in creative roles then leads to more relevant product that draws from unique perspectives and insights.
