APRES 1’s: Low Top Snow Boot
SHOEMAKING | PATTERN MAKING | BRAND IDENTITY
I designed The Low Top Après 1s for Ardor Lab, blending the brand’s aesthetic with the spirit of skiing and après-ski culture. My goal was to create a boot that seamlessly fit Ardor Lab’s identity while capturing the functionality and style needed for post-ski comfort. Inspired by the rugged elegance of alpine gear, I focused on materials and form to ensure both durability and a refined, après-ski appeal. The result is a shoe that feels at home in both mountain lodges and city streets, embodying the intersection of performance and style.
