About

I’m Tomiwa Adeosun, a senior footwear designer with 10+ years of experience creating performance and lifestyle shoes across brands including PUMA, Reebok, and adidas. I lead projects end-to-end—from concept and consumer insight through technical development—balancing trend and storytelling with real-world production requirements.

I’m especially experienced across teamsport footwear (football, handball, futsal, and cricket) as well as core lifestyle categories, working closely with development, merchandising, marketing, and factory teams. Alongside freelance and project collaborations in London and Herzogenaurach, I’ve delivered commercially relevant concepts, produced tech packs and material/outsole technical documentation, and contributed to landmark designs such as the SS26 PUMA King modern edition selected for a FIFA World Cup showcase.
