《Hidden Dragon》

It took nearly a year from the idea to the completion of the work. Mr. Yudong Bai perfectly presented Mr. Zhou Xiaodong's ideas with his superb leather carving and painting skills. ZhuShi teacher's silver shoe buckle production made the final product look even more gorgeous. In order to reflect the full of traditional Chinese elements design on boots and shoes, many experiments and adjustments have been carried out in the shoemaking stage. All the processes were completed by hand, and the seamless articulate approach ensures the integrity of the pattern. The pre-forming of the rear body part ensures the unique graceful lines of the high boots. The extremely complex of four-layer sewing process structure adds a sense of heaviness to the work. The different inclination angles of the side of the sole bring a sense of support to the work. From the completion of this work, the inherited Chinese traditional culture in new arena can become more innovate.
