OPEN CALL

Step Into

Augmented Reality!

This is your chance to bring to life your sneakers! Artivive and WARRIOR SHOES are hunting around for artists like you to create a shoe design concept boosted with augmented reality.

Open the doors to your creativity and express what defines the Warrior Shoes. The goal of this global open call is to include new layers of emotion in a concept that reflect:

  • the use of environment-friendly materials for the shoe design.
  • the incorporation of elements from different cultural backgrounds and visual systems that show great unity and harmony.
  • a pioneering and forging ahead vision as an expression of Warrior Shoes’ sorts and fashion-related genes.

Besides the prize, you will have the opportunity to become a contract designer of the brand and get a specific portion of the commission from each sale of the shoes you designed.

Are you ready to step into this challenge? Then, get into your stride!
