Sole Soul #01

Description
Doys’ products have often carried a subtle sensuality, but for the Group Show, Dongyu sought to realize an ascetic motif. Both the shoe and painting were crafted from single sheets of leather, a deliberately impractical choice. The final pieces are physical testaments to the tension between material limitations and creative ambition. By foregrounding the piece with labor-intensive craft, Dongyu invites viewers to engage with the process as much as the result.

About
The Turin Project was Doys's first footwear project. It composed a constraint of creating just two shoe lasts. One last that is repurposed in three ways: as a derby, a boot, and itself, a clog. The other a high heel.
Normally divided into upper, midsole, and outsole on the production sheet, Doys refused to compartmentalize these three elements. Instead, the brand treated the outsole and upper as a singular sculpture, where the design of both the upper and the outsole of each shoe is inseparable.
