What would happen if, instead of eggs, we painted shoes?

The idea

The idea behind the image.

Easter becomes a reason for creative expression. Children and adults paint shoes instead of eggs.

At the heart of the activation was a large 3D shoe, a canvas for live creation by an established painter while the store was open.

Smaller 3D versions of the shoe were given as gifts with purchases of children's footwear from €49. Each child painted their own.

Bold colours, illustrated sneakers and references to Easter eggs gave the New Balance campaign a playful yet contemporary look.

What we did
  • Concept development
  • 3D shoe design
  • Visual identity
  • Promotional gifting
  • In-store execution

The result

The Easter gift became an invitation to take part. The children became the creators themselves.

Next campaign Easter's Gift for a Greener Home. Can an Easter gift become the start of something that grows?
