Over the last thirty years the design studio AC Studio has embedded into its DNA the commitment, curiosity, speed and passion by working within a young and dynamic milieu.

The client is the starting point of any footwear development. AC Studio adds the study and research of materials and technical details for its execution all the way to the complete definition of the requested item.

from the brief
to the final
product realization

brief

2014

The Brief is a fundamental moment to lay the foundations of the project and collect information for the development of the footwear and its subsequent distribution in the market.

Design

2016

During the shoe design phase all the stylistic aspects and the shape of the footwear are considered and the problems concerning correct posture are tackled.

OUTSOLE DESIGN

2019

The outsole design phase is just as important. The postural aspect and the study of the outsole are developed bearing in mind the customer's requests.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

2023

The development of the footwear transforms the project into reality. At the outset of this phase it is important to solve any and every production problem which may cause criticalities during the shoe production phase.

PRODUCTION SOURCING

2023

Thanks to a network of collaborations, AC Studio can manage the production of the shoe both within the Sportsystem District of Montebelluna and/or on a worldwide scale.

3d development

2023

After creating the 2D patterns, the work moves to the 3D phase, where it analyzes and constructs the shape and sole of the footwear, prototyping it with advanced techniques to ensure quality and sustainability. It is capable of producing complete 3D renderings, ensuring that physical prototyping occurs only after the model has been confirmed.
