Using the studio
This page is the working end of the studio — the place where a style code, an image and a size become a file that can be cut and printed. It runs in your browser, it saves into your browser, and it costs nothing to use: the first charge is the pair in the cart.
The studio works on one style at a time, and the style decides almost everything downstream: how many panels the upper is cut into, where the seams sit, which sizes are graded, and what the pair costs. None of that can be changed inside the editor, so pick the shoe first and design second. Eight styles are in production — two Classic Low-Tops at $98, two Everyday Sneakers at $78, two Blade Sneakers and one Air-Cushion Sneaker at $88, and a soft cotton slipper at $68.
Sizes are EU only, 35–48, except the slipper, which runs 39–47. The pattern is graded in EU, so a US or UK number does not convert reliably — compare your foot length against the size chart on the gallery page before ordering.
PNG, JPEG and WebP up to 50 MB. The file is read in the browser and drawn straight onto the canvas; it is not sent anywhere while you work. What the studio does not do is repair a file that does not fit: an image whose proportions differ from the canvas is stretched to fill it, not letterboxed, and it does so without a warning. Square artwork that matches the canvas ratio is the safe default.
Anything outside the dashed safe area can be trimmed away when the panels are cut, silently. Keep type, faces and thin rules inside the dashed box, and check the automatic panel split in the right-hand column before you save.
The right-hand column renders the finished pair from several camera angles with your artwork mapped through the real panel positions, then shows each cut piece on its own. That is where a misplaced element announces itself — sitting on a seam, sliding into the side panel, losing its edge under the eyelet row — while it can still be moved. On the flat canvas alone you will not see any of it.
| Editable in the studio | Fixed by the style |
|---|---|
| Position, scale, rotation and flip of every layer | Panel outlines, seam positions and cut lines |
| Uploaded images and text layers | Style, panel count and the size grade |
| Canvas background colour | Sole, lining and hardware finishes |
| Size, within the range of that style | Print coverage — upper panels only |
A pair is not one printed sheet pulled over a shoe. Across the eight styles the studio cuts sixty-six panels, and the Classic Low-Top alone is eighteen per pair, two of them printed mirrored because the left and right pieces come off the same pattern flipped over. Each panel samples its own window of your artwork and is masked to its own outline, so a design that crosses a seam is genuinely split rather than bent around a curve.
Two things follow, and both matter before you upload. Continuity has to be designed: a gradient or an all-over pattern forgives a cut, a straight letter stroke does not, so anything that must join across a seam should stay simple. And the smallest panel is the one enlarged the most, which means a file that looks sharp on the full canvas can still go soft inside the eyelet panel — the measured figures are in how much a panel magnifies.
Save design writes a draft into this browser's local storage, keyed to the style code. It survives a refresh and a restart, but it does not follow you to another computer, another browser or a private window. Export draft downloads the layer positions and settings as a JSON file — that is a backup and a handover file for a designer, not something a printer can use.
The design travels with the order it is attached to, and the pair is made after payment. Production takes around three days and US transit is typically 8 to 15 days after dispatch. Printing covers the upper panels; the sole, lining and other non-printable parts keep their base finish.
