Final Project Part 1

Outline
Sneakers are very cool, and I hope to introduce everyone to the current situation of the sneaker market. A lot of sneakers have crazy prices, and I hope I can tell people about the reasons why sneakers are overpriced (e.g. consumerism and hype) through my project. Also, through this project I want to explore the relationship between performance and price which will help people have a rational consumption mindset.
Sketches
Data
There are many sneaker trading sites where data is available, such as ebay, stockx, goat, etc. There are also some websites that scrape and integrate these contents.
eg. sneaker database
For sneaker performance data, I will use a database in reddit. There are many enthusiasts who test and organize data about sneakers.
Method and Medium
I think I’ll end up using shorthand completely for this project, and for a better experience, I might look for some copyright-free images of sneakers and some pictures of players wearing them to make the content more attractive.
