Front-End Sneakers E-Commerce Store
A bold, responsive e-commerce front-end tailored for sneaker enthusiasts, combining dynamic visuals with clean layout structure and product interactivity.
Project Overview
This sneakers e-commerce front-end was built to simulate a high-end product browsing experience for modern footwear shoppers. Designed with a mobile-first approach, the layout emphasizes strong visual hierarchy, hover interactions, and intuitive product organization. The project showcases custom section transitions, product card designs, responsive grids, and clear CTA elements across the site. Though it's static and front-end focused, the UI is structured to be scalable and developer-ready for integration with a backend or headless CMS. It serves as a personal showcase of retail UI/UX sensibilities with a focus on layout finesse and responsive fidelity.
