I LOVE DESIGNING PRODUCTS
A FEW COMPANIES I’VE DESIGNED FOR SO FAR:
01 OBOZ PASSPORT COLLECTION
OBOZ JOURNEY COLLECTION
TRUE TO THE TRAIL
PROJECT BRIEF JOURNEY COLLECTION
CONSUMER:
Targeted and the “Budding Outdoors person” and more specifically the sub segment of adventure travelers
POSITIONING:
The Passport Collection defines the outer edge of the Mountain Town category. This collection is the least technical, and is targeted at the youngest Oboz consumers
PROBLEM: Currently the Oboz consumer is a middle aged to older loyalist user, the designs and function of the current Oboz offering isn’t resonating with the majority of the Millennial Generation.
DIRECTION:
By Creating a versatile shoe encompassing new material technologies, as well as the values of millennial we will broaden Oboz’s customer base and expand into new and profitable product categories.
OPPORTUNITIES JOURNEY COLLECTION
COMFORT
Comfort is key. Should be soft and comfortable out of the box and for the long haul. Focus on snug arch and wide toe box with a heel rise (4-6 cm).
VERSATILITY BRINGS THE OUTSIDE IN PACKABILITY NO STINK SUSTAINABILITY STORY
These shoes work for the plane ride, a quick hike, a day exploring local markets, or a late night sushi run.
These shoes should let you “feel like yourself even when you have to wear a suit”. Simple style that tips people off that you love the outdoors.
Should be able to pack down small. These would be an easy second pair of shoes that can easily be thrown into a water bottle holder.
These can be worn with socks or without, and they wont get stinky. Consider Polygien for a total antimicrobial solution
This customer cares about the environment and wants to support brands that do too. A sustainability story is a must have, but it also needs to be easy to communicate to the consumer.
