Ease Footwear by Ryan Jans

Easy-on 3D printed footwear. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, a physical disability, and I have been reviewing footwear since 2020. I have seen that Accessibility and Ease of Entry are often overlooked in footwear design. My studio pushes both of those elements to the forefront. All of Ease Footwear's shoes are designed to be as easy to get on as possible. My logo’s Dara Knot is a Celtic symbol for both inner strength and resilience; two characteristics that I feel people with disabilities often have in abundance. Both colors in the logo are taken from Disability Pride flags: the pale red, taken from Ann Magill’s 2016 flag, represents those with physical disabilities, and the gold, taken from Eros Recio’s 2017 flag, symbolizes the accomplishments of people with disabilities.
