Melissa Next
“Best Foot Forward”
Melissa footwear company held their 3rd Melissa Next shoe design contest earlier in 2021. Contestants were given the following design restraints - must be your own design, must use PVC as the main material and all materials are vegan, sizing must start at a US Women’s 5, and the design is for adults only. With these parameters, designed a shoe inspired by the consumer desire for modular products driven by the Covid-19 Pandemic.
