I have spent weeks now having meeting after meeting with some of my factories here in China about the shoes I am developing for Gangstarship. Shoes are a lot more time consuming than t-shirts and baseball caps, but a lot more exciting watching them come together 1 stage at a time.
I am currently working with 13 different factories to develop the shoes for Gangstarship, as each process for the shoes is handled by a separate factory, for example- Molds for the sole of the shoe, Dies that cut out the leather for the different panels on the shoe, Leather factory that die the leather to your specific colours, Molds for the innersole , Printing factory for the shoe boxes and so on.
Everything with the shoes is going relatively smoothly so far , a few samples have been produced and the colours have not been exactly spot on and the way the shoes wear and walk when they are actually being worn is of some concern to me at the moment. Some of the panels of the shoe will have to be redesigned in order to correct these small issues but that is nothing I can not handle.
