AJ1 High Pattern - Acrylic + Digital

***This product page is for the AJ1 high silhouette.***

We are now offering our sneaker patterns in acrylic format! Plus buy the pattern and receive the digital copy too!

We developed our patterns from scratch, basing the design on the same exact AJ1 lasts that we offer at DLS HERE.  Using our patterns in conjunction with our lasts ensures the best possible fit and shape (i.e. no weird saggy spots or mudguards that sit too high/low on the toe, etc.).

We opted for a symmetrical design, which is slight departure from the asymmetrical production shoe design.  We did this because our lasts are pretty close to being symmetrical, and it's also generally easier to work with symmetrical patterns.
