How long should a sneakers splash & Particles be?

Four to six seconds. Shorter clips compress the motion; longer ones slow it down rather than adding more. Render two lengths and keep the one that reads best on a phone.

Does the Splash & Particles type work for glossy or dark sneakers and trainers?

Yes. The opening frame lights the sneaker for its material, and the splash & Particles motion keeps that light consistent. For very reflective sneakers and trainers, a dark set shows the highlights moving best.

Will my sneaker stay identical through the splash & Particles?

The opening frame is painted with instructions to keep the colorway, sole, laces and side branding as uploaded, and the Splash & Particles motion — water, ice, petals, smoke or sparks move around a still, sharp product — moves the camera and the light rather than the product. Compare the clip with the sneaker before you publish.

Sneakers splash & Particles video

The Splash & Particles type turns a running shoe into a commercial effect fired around the product in slow motion — water, ice, petals, smoke or sparks move around a still, sharp product. For sneakers that means a 360 turn on a black acrylic floor with a reflection, in a clip four to six seconds long, with the colorway, sole, laces and side branding held in every frame.

Every sneaker in the range can go through the same Splash & Particles settings, so the Shopify collection page and the PDP galleries look like one shoot. Swap Splash & Particles for another type with one click to split-test sneakers and trainers.
