sneaker — A configurable TikZ sneaker drawing

A LaTeX package that provides a highly configurable sneaker illustration using TikZ. The shoe can be customised via a key–value interface: colours, laces, velcro straps, eyelets, decorative patterns (bolt or star), stitching, and rolling wheels are all available as simple options.

✨ Key Features

The sneaker package offers a wide range of customization options to create everything from a simple icon to a detailed illustration.

👟 Modular Components

Every part of the shoe can be toggled to change the style of the sneaker:

  • Laces & Bow: Detailed shoelaces (best combined with eyelets).
  • Velcro Straps: Choose between a classic two-strap look or a hybrid lace-and-strap design.
  • Metal Eyelets: A row of circular eyelets for the lace zone.
  • Detail Stitching: Adds dashed seam lines to the upper panels and the sole for a realistic touch.
  • Inline Wheels: Transform the sneaker into a roller skate with three inline wheels (rolls).

🎨 Design & Patterns

Add a unique look to the side panel with built-in decorative patterns:

  • Bolt: A dynamic lightning-bolt decoration.
  • Star: A classic five-pointed star icon.
  • Custom Colors: All patterns have their own color keys.

🌈 Total Color Control

The package uses a "Smart Tinting" system. By default, parts like the tongue and toe cap are tinted based on your main color, but you can override every single part:

  • color: The primary base color.
  • sole color: Customize the rubber sole.
  • lace color: Change the color of the strings and the bow.
  • toe cap color: Highlight the front panel.
  • tongue color: Adjust the inner shoe tongue color.

📐 Technical Highlights

  • Isometric Perspective: The shoe is drawn in a stylised 2.5D-like view.
  • TikZ Native: No external images required—everything is rendered as pure vector graphics.
  • Scalable: Since it's a TikZ pic, it can be scaled, rotated, and styled within any tikzpicture.
