SCHNABBIT

Category: Footwear

Competitions: International

SCHNABBIT is a unique streetwear brand that I created, inspired by a rabbit with crocodile DNA. This character embodies distinctiveness, boldness, and a pursuit of freedom. With its signature green skin and tiny eyes, Schnabbit stands out in the world of fashion. Drawing from this inspiration, I have designed a series of sneakers that blend genuine leather materials with cutting-edge 3D printing technology. These shoes are a testament to the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, offering a fresh and daring aesthetic.
