Nike Waffle

Challenge

The script needed to export factory-ready files, while also having the flexibility to be mild and wild.

Approach

I started using a mesh displacement to prove out the concept. The next step was to build a data-driven script that output surface models that the factory could use.

Outcome

This traction and texture language was used on a large number of performance and sportswear shoes over the years.
