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).

Coral Reef Color Story
The Philippines have the 3rd biggest coral reef in the world. I wanted to honor how beautiful and important this ecosystem is by using a color palette inspired by its hues.

Halo-Halo Color Story
An popular dessert in Filipino culture is Halo-Halo, known for its unique taste and vibrant colors. That, and the comforting, nostalgic feeling that it gives Katrina Soriano is the inspiration for this color story.
