On this page is an illustrative two-tone court sneaker with a configurator for colour and UK size. The build is summarised and sent as a quote request rather than added to a basket.
Two-tone court sneakers follow an old pattern: a coloured leather upper against white foxing and sole. It is a look that has stayed in gym and street wear for decades. For a consumer, the choice is which colour suits them. A stockist buying the range is making a wider decision. They are choosing which colourways to carry, how deep to go in each, and which size curve their customers need.

What you can configure
The four colourways in the demo are black white, navy white, forest white and grey white. Tan white and burgundy complete the range. Every image keeps the stitched toe overlay on the rounded toe box and the rubber foxing strip around the base in place. With the white parts fixed, the upper colour is the only variable. UK 6, UK 8 and UK 10 are recorded in the summary, with one image for all.

Why a configurator suits sneakers
Wholesale footwear ordering often still runs on PDF line sheets, spreadsheets and email. A stockist reads the line sheet, fills in a size grid per colourway and sends it back. Mistakes creep in: wrong style codes, missed sizes, colourways that were discontinued last season. Each one costs a phone call and delays the order.
A trade configurator turns that into a guided order. The stockist picks a colourway, sees it at full size and fills a quantity per UK size in one grid. Minimum order quantities, pack sizes and trade prices apply automatically. The brand receives a clean order with valid codes, ready for its ERP, and the sales rep spends time selling rather than correcting spreadsheets.
The same configurator can serve the consumer site, with trade features hidden. That keeps one source of imagery and product data for both channels. For a brand with a large stockist network, it also shows which colourways each region is backing. That view arrives before the season, while production can still be adjusted.
How a production version would be built
Each two-tone colourway is photographed separately, because the white foxing must stay a consistent white against every upper. The trade version adds a sign-in for approved accounts, a size grid per colourway, and pricing that depends on the account. The brand supplies style codes, colourway names, size runs, pack sizes and trade price lists. Orders go to the ERP or a B2B Shopify store. I built Praxis Digital 3D, a configuration platform used by more than 20 UK businesses, and trade ordering like this follows the same principles.

Questions about sneaker configurators
Can stockists order a full size run per colourway on one screen?
Yes. Signed-in trade accounts see a quantity grid for each colourway, with one box per UK size. Pack sizes and minimums are checked as they type. The finished order shows totals by colourway and size, and it can be saved as a draft before submitting.
Can trade and retail customers use the same configurator?
They can. One configurator shows retail prices and a single size choice to the public, and trade prices with a size grid to approved accounts. Imagery and product data are shared, which saves maintaining two catalogues. What each person sees depends on their account.
Can a discontinued colourway close to trade orders but stay on sale to the public?
Yes. Availability can be set per channel. A colourway can close to new trade orders while remaining on sale to consumers until stock runs out. The setting lives in your product data, so the sales team can change it at the end of a season without a developer.
Can the white foxing be shown accurately against dark uppers?
With careful exposure, yes. Dark uppers such as black and forest tempt the camera to brighten the whole frame, which can blow out the white foxing. Exposing each shot for the white keeps the foxing consistent across the range. That matters, because it is the element every colourway shares.
