Sketch out the basic shape of the basketball shoe with your pencil. Just concentrate on the basic outline of the basketball shoe and not the fancy details of the sole or the logo or the shoelaces. Remember, a basketball shoe is thicker and puffier than a regular shoe. It usually has a high tongue and a thick sole.

Once you are satisfied with the basic shape of your basketball shoe, add in the details. This is your chance to design whatever shoe you can imagine. Remember that your details should follow the form of the shoe so that they look realistic. If the heel curves, your designs should curve as they go around it. Design a logo and add it to your shoes.
