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.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/sneaker The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/sneaker/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Vincent Goulet

sneaker – Configurable Sneakers with TikZ
The sneaker package provides a TikZ pic for drawing stylized sneakers in an isometric-like perspective. The illustration is highly configurable via a simple key-value interface, allowing users to customize colors, shoelaces, velcro straps, decorative patterns (like bolts or stars), stitching details, and even inline-skate wheels. It is ideal for presentations, feature model illustrations, or as a visual gimmick in LaTeX documents.
