Where Footwear, Invention, and Systems Meet

Inventing Footwear Systems. Building What Comes Next.

I’m Daniel Spencer — an inventor and sneaker architect working at the intersection of biomechanics, manufacturing, and design.


For over two decades, I’ve built footwear from the inside out — not just products, but systems: new constructions, manufacturing architectures, and product models that often appear years later at scale.


Some of my work ships under third-party brands.

Some of it becomes industry standard.

Most of it begins long before there’s a name for it.

I don’t follow trends.

I invent ahead of them.

This is not theory.

It’s proof of work.

Some of the brands and Universities I been working with.

Circa logo with black text and a red symbol on white background.
University of Oregon logo with a large green 'O' above the text.
