Nuovo Tap Shoe

The "Nuovo", a groundbreaking tap shoe project for Bloch, epitomizes forward-thinking design and functional innovation. As the lead designer, I engaged in every phase, from conceptual sketching to rendering, 3D design, and the meticulous development process across Italy and China.

The Nuovo tap shoe introduces an innovative speed lacing system for a secure, customizable fit and a groundbreaking TPU molded outsole that balances durability with flexibility, supporting both rigorous dance routines and agile movements. Although the project didn't reach commercialisation, it exemplified the holistic design journey, focusing on advanced features and enhancing user experience. The Nuovo project showcases industrious design, comprehensive project management, and global collaboration, serving as a significant addition to my portfolio and a testament to the entire process of bringing a concept to life.
