"The sneakers come as a result of a collab with Indian sneaker brand Gully Labs, but rather than merely launching a sneaker line, the two brands decided to turn the exercise into a community design effort. The result, perhaps one of the most interesting pieces of footwear I've seen from the design community. This particular concept by Abhishek Mistry injects CMF's design ethos into a piece of footwear brilliantly."
"Aside from just making a neon orange pair of shoes, Mistry wove CMF details into them too, ditching the laces for a BOA system, and translating the CMF Phone's modular backplate into a modular heel counter. The result feels perfectly CMF, it's edgy, wild, and has that iconic flair that Pei's constantly spoken about injecting into the products he creates."
Carl Pei's design ethos emphasizes injecting fun into technology and produced both Nothing and its sibling brand CMF. CMF introduced early innovations such as the first 3-camera smartphone, GaN chargers, and a smartwatch ahead of Nothing. CMF collaborated with Indian sneaker brand Gully Labs to launch a community design challenge that resulted in a standout sneaker concept by Abhishek Mistry. The design features a neon orange aesthetic, a BOA closure replacing laces, and a modular heel counter inspired by the CMF Phone's modular backplate. The challenge aimed to build culture while producing a product that captures CMF's interactive, modular spirit.
