From a Shoe Reference to a Useful Sampling Brief

A sketch, existing shoe or AI concept can begin a conversation. The next step is to define what must be made and how the sample will be reviewed.

Choose the closest product direction

Start with vintage footwear, comfort living or formal business. Identify the silhouette and the details you want to retain or change.

Add the missing decisions

Provide target market, wearer, size range, quantity, material direction, construction preferences and branding. Mark unknown details so Qineng can review them during development.

Separate concept from approval

AI imagery is a visual reference. Last shape, materials, fitting, pattern and construction need physical sample review before production approval.
