A spec ad 3D animation for the SW x Adidas Gazelle Green Hemp sneaker collaboration.

This limited-edition shoe, crafted from vegan materials like hemp leather, draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Japanese tradition - one of Sean Wotherspoon’s (the designer of the shoes) personal passions.

In the animation, the sneaker is discovered deep within a Japanese forest, nestled beside an ancient shrine. This setting beautifully reflects the story behind the design, highlighting the meticulous details and the thoughtful blend of modernity and heritage.

The precise 3D capture of the shoes by Linus Käpplinger and Kay Propheter laid the foundation for bringing this vision to life. I then built, animated, and rendered the entire scene in Blender, ensuring that every moment resonates with the cultural depth and artistry that inspired this unique collaboration.
