THEBIT explores an elevated mule silhouette designed around protection, ground clearance, and an exaggerated outsole structure. Inspired by impact craters and lunar terrain, the project translates organic surface formations into a sculpted footwear concept.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
The project began with the idea of creating a mule that sits higher off the ground while maintaining the ease of a slip-on. Lunar craters and impact formations became references for developing the outsole geometry, surface transitions, and overall visual language.
3D FORM DEVELOPMENT
I translated the initial sketches into 3D, using the model to explore proportion, volume, ground clearance, and the relationship between the upper and outsole.
