An idea spawned from personal market research at the Rose Bowl flea market in the summer of 2023. After witnessing what I described as the transition out of a post-covid gorp era into a… new, still technical, but formal g.o.r.p. trend… my PM partner and I were able to successfully pitch a TN with new last, upper, and bottom unit. I did all work from mood boarding, presenting, initial concepting and sketching, upper shell patterns, bottom unit blueprints, and revisions through the whole process.
