Introduction
After the Pensole x GM Masterclass, my friend Steve and I got together again to create 3 color collections of 4 new silhouettes for NOBULL, using TLC materials. The colors are inspired by Filipino culture, the materials are innovative and bio-based by TLC, and the designs are for athletics that are an opportunity for NOBULL.
For more of the footwear design and ideation sketches, check out Steve's portfolio (https://stevenburstyn.com/nobull-x-tlc).
