Questions,
answered.

Clear scope before a product project begins.

Who is STARCORE for?

STARCORE is built for footwear brands, designers, product teams, factories, trading companies and launch-focused sellers who need a clearer path from product direction to market assets.

Can we begin with only an idea, photo, sketch or outsole?

Yes. A short brief, reference image, rough sketch, sample photo or outsole direction is enough to begin a structured product conversation.

What do we receive?

Scope can include product renders, CMF directions, review boards, white-background assets, motion content, 360 presentation covers, catalog layouts and launch-ready visual assets.

Does STARCORE manufacture the footwear directly?

STARCORE focuses on product-development visuals, communication assets and launch preparation. Manufacturing, sampling and production are coordinated with the relevant factory and supply-chain partners.

Can STARCORE work with our existing team and factory?

Yes. The workflow is designed to help brand, design, buyer and factory teams review the same product direction with clearer documentation and visual context.

Are 360, motion and 3D included in every project?

They are optional modules. The right output depends on the product stage, review requirements and intended market channel.

How does a project start?

Send a short brief and any available references. STARCORE will recommend the most suitable first product and launch-asset path.

Why choose one launch partner instead of three?

The fragmented way

  • One supplier for concept visuals
  • Another team for content
  • Factory communication happens separately
  • Multiple handovers and timelines
  • Product intent can be lost between teams

The STARCORE way

  • Product direction, review and launch assets connected
  • One clear workflow and accountable lead
  • Fewer interpretation gaps
  • Faster, more consistent product conversations
  • A single partner to coordinate the next step

FOUNDER / PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LEAD

Built by footwear practice, not just visualization.

STARCORE is led by CHIN, a footwear professional who has worked across design, product development, wholesale, digital commerce and manufacturing collaboration.

CHIN, founder of STARCORE LABS, reviewing a footwear prototype, sketches and materials in a product development studio

With more than 26 years of hands-on footwear experience, CHIN has seen where product projects truly slow down: the gap between an initial idea, product review, factory communication and market presentation.

He is Design Director and Supply Chain Lead at AWG, supporting China supply-chain management for the Italian footwear brands LOTTO and STONEFLY. This work keeps STARCORE grounded in the practical realities of materials, development timelines, factory alignment and commercial product decisions.

STARCORE was built to close that gap. It connects product direction, materials, review assets and launch content into one clearer workflow, with real footwear development logic behind every stage.

The goal is not to create attractive images in isolation. It is to help brands, factories and product teams reach a market-ready direction with more clarity and confidence.

Privacy & Asset Protection

Content Ownership

You retain ownership of the briefs, references and approved product assets you share with STARCORE.

Project Confidentiality

Project materials are not published, reused or shown as case work without your approval.

Controlled Sharing

Product reviews and launch files are shared through agreed project channels so your team can stay aligned.

Clear commercial
model.

We keep product development, factory introductions and optional management services separate, so you always know what you are paying for.

01 / DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT

Clear project scope.

Visual development, review assets and launch materials are quoted clearly before work begins.

02 / FACTORY INTRODUCTIONS

No factory markup.

When we recommend a suitable factory partner, we do not add a markup to the factory’s production quotation.

03 / OPTIONAL MANAGEMENT

Support when needed.

If you need us to manage sampling, factory coordination or delivery, the service scope and fee are agreed upfront.

Our role: help you validate product direction earlier, align decisions faster and prepare a clearer path to market.

Let’s Launch Your Next Shoe.

Send us your idea, sketch, sample photo, or outsole. STARCORE turns it into a complete market-ready footwear launch package.
