Materials research, 3D CAD designs, sourcing manufacturing from the Far East, having samples made, tearing those apart, going back to the drawing board, sinking a mortgage worth of dough into having all those different size lasts (the casts soles are made with) machined up, team choice, graphics, bringing the whole shooting match to market, convincing dealers your shoes are better than others. Speaking of which, there's the small matter of established legit footwear giants who turn over millions of dollars a day. Fancy jumping into the ring for a little financial mano-a-mano with the likes of Sole Tech, Vans Inc, and those upstarts from Oregon, namely Nike? Please, be my guest.
With this in mind, I wanted to find out more about how the wheels turn within various shoe brands. And who better to start with, than Derek Adams of Orchid Footwear . Many moons ago, Derek started out as a lo-fi outfit printing T-shirts and selling them at BMX jams: and because Derek's head is glued on the right way round, Little Devil took off and was subsequently followed by his shoe company. I remember getting one of the very first pairs of Van Homan signature shoes in the mail, and thinking, "This is going to be GOOD!" Since then, Orchid has become so well founded that he recently closed Little Devil to focus on his kicks, which I have to say was a very bold move. So, to kick this whole series off (no pun intended), let's talk to the man himself about how it all started, how to compete against the big fellas, and plans for the future: here's Orchid Footwear's Derek Adams.
