"In my own analysis, the mind of present fashion market is opting for more stylish materials whether in footwear, accessories, or apparel. The next thing they consider is the comfort and thirdly the price. Consumers buy materials if the design can satisfy the price.
As a practicing fashion designer, I don’t own a pair of stylish shoes that can consider formal and casual at the same time. For this reason I designed an entry that will fit to my taste as a fashion designer, which I believe has strong market values.
Creating a stylish shoe that can be considered formal at one point and casual at another point possessing that distinct strong masculine appeal is my main objective. Using this template with the classic upper shape, outsole, and pointed shoe cap satisfy the objective. This template features strong and elegant shape for a formal/casual shoe. As I compared male being to the snakes, using this template with pointed shoe cap resembles the snake’s snout. Putting braids appliques side by side as if creating a contour to resemble reptilian face give this shoe stylish strong masculine look. The design of this shoe aimed to embody the male strong physique, focused attitude, and mysterious mind. Using the strength character of braid as detail gives the shoe strong sense of style. Assembling these braids in straight directions pointing to the four main points resembles the focused attitude of men. There are points where braids seems to be connected with each other as well as some cutout details that pointing in a direction to meet at one definite point represents the mysterious side of male being. Making these details meet at a certain point give unity in elements of style, thus justifying that focused attitude of men.
Because of the details and designs, this shoe uses full black patent or vein leather only to create that flexible, strong, mysterious, formal masculine color. The black stitching details must be visible enough to give a tailored masculine detail. This shoe also uses black elastic gussets to resemble male flexible side.
'Sidewinder is other term for snakes capable of sidewinding, is a modified form of lateral undulation in which all of the body segments oriented in one direction remain in contact with the ground, while the other segments are lifted up, resulting in a peculiar 'rolling' motion. This mode of locomotion overcomes the slippery nature of sand or mud by pushing off with only static portions on the body, thereby minimizing slipping. The static nature of the contact points can be shown from the tracks of a sidewinding snake, which show each belly scale imprint, without any smearing. This mode of locomotion has very low caloric cost, less than ⅓ of the cost for a lizard or snake to move the same distance.'"
