retail footwear charrette
"A charrette, often Anglicized to charette or charet and sometimes called a design charrette, is an intense period of design or planning activity."
design concept:
Motivated by the power of forward movement, this retail concept finds inspiration in natural elements and genuine athletic components. Through the incorporation of wood and grass features, gymnasium flooring and the incorporation of the shoe lace, a relationship between sport and its environment is established. A large “running track” winds around the central retail space, directing patrons through the interior of the store through designated footwear displays. The incorporation of a large “Start” and “Finish” graphics integrated into the flooring symbolize the start of a unique shopping experience and or ones athletic or fitness journey.

The "Tread" logo symbolizes a retail environment focusing on athletic footwear. "Tread" means “to walk in a specified way”. This relates to the selling of shoes. The "Tread" logo is visualized through three shoe silhouettes consisting of a soccer cleat, running shoe and basketball sneaker. This visual represents the idea of “forward movement” a concept that is strengthened further through the "Tread" retail design concept.
