Job description

Company Description

We’re not here to follow culture. We’re here to rewire it.

Right now, we’re a sneaker startup with no “first drop” yet, because that’s where you come in. Our first designer will literally define how the world sees us.

Think of it as ground zero : no rules, no baggage, just raw ambition and a blank canvas. We’re building sneakers that aren’t just worn, they’re talked about, memed, maybe even hated (and that’s a win in our book).

We’re a startup, which means nothing is “set.” You won’t just design sneakers, you’ll shape the identity of the brand itself. If you’re looking for safe, cushy, predictable… skip. If you want to design madness from scratch, welcome.

Role Description

This is a full-time on-site role for a Footwear Designer located in Mumbai. But this isn’t “just another design job.” You’ll be our first ever designer, which means you’re not joining a team, you’re creating it. You won’t be handed moodboards and guidelines; you’ll build them. From the first sketch to the first drop, your work will shape the DNA of the brand.

Expect chaos. Expect freedom. Expect to make sneakers people have never seen before.

What You’ll Do :

  • Conceptualize & design sneakers that are bold, disruptive, and culturally relevant.
  • Experiment with materials, shapes, and design language, no “template sneaker” mindset.
  • Translate sketches into prototypes in collaboration with vendors & factories.
  • Build the visual identity of our sneaker line (you’ll be defining the look).
  • Work directly with founders, fast decisions, faster iterations.
  • Push boundaries : if it feels “too much,” it’s probably just right.

What We’re Looking For :

  • Someone obsessed with sneakers, street culture, and design.
  • Freshers welcome, if you’ve got the hunger and creativity, we want you.
  • Strong sketching and CAD / 3D skills (Rhino, Illustrator, Photoshop, CLO, or whatever you flex with).
  • Understanding of footwear construction, materials, and prototyping (FDDI, NIFT, or self-taught, doesn’t matter if the fire is real).
  • A portfolio that screams personality, we don’t want safe, we want you.
  • Willingness to experiment, fail fast, and try again until it’s insane enough to drop.
  • Why Join Us?

  • Be the first designer, your work = our identity.
  • Absolute creative freedom, no rules, no boring briefs.
  • Work in a high-energy startup environment (read : messy but magical).
  • Chance to disrupt sneaker culture from scratch.
  • If you’re

    tired of safe, come design chaos with us.

    How to Apply :

    If this feels like your vibe, you can DM or send your portfolio & details directly to :
