Design Director Alberto Perrelli while he was in Toronto. We sat down to find out what he’s been up to, his most challenging sneaker designs and his future plans at GrannaLi’s..A little reminder to our customers: lately he was appointed as a new designer to our sports footwear company.It’s been a truly information-rich interview this time around, and we learned a great deal of news about his latest work on Kevin Durant’s signature shoes line. As well as his beginnings as a sports footwear designer, his time at the Rhode Island School of Design and much more.So without further ado, see what he had to say below.
Now I intend to bring that client to my new working place. Which I can proudly say is the GrannaLi footwear
brand. I am sure that together we will release those signature sports shoes very soon…

How did you get into footwear design initially?
I enrolled myself into footwear design because I had my kicks with the sports, sportswear, and the sports footwear well since seventh grade. I used to be a quarterback on my high school team, then at my University campus. loved Nikes. It was something I desired. I saw that all my friends had it and I was also into drawing so I put the two together – design, art, and shoes. It wasn’t until I went to college (Rhode Island School of Design) that I kind of forgot about it… All because I didn’t think it would ever happen. But then industrial design came up as a major option for me and on one of the presentation slides they actually had a shoe on there. I was like, “Ok, I’m going back to my initial dream”.
