Summary description: Configurable Sneakers with TikZ
Announcement text:The 'sneaker' package provides a highly configurable TikZ pic to draw stylised sneakers in an isometric-like perspective.
The shoe can be extensively customised via a simple key–value interface. Features include adjustable colours for various components, shoelaces with a bow, velcro straps, metal eyelets, and decorative patterns such as a lightning bolt or a star. For more detailed illustrations, the package also offers options for dashed stitching lines and even rolling wheels to transform the sneaker into an inline skate.
What started as a small visual gimmick for the slides of my Bachelor’s thesis, a sneaker as a feature model to illustrate variability and configuration, gradually grew into something more elaborate that I decided to share with the community.
