Here is my latest project I created using Blender 4.3 and Marmoset toolbag. I tried as normal to focus on realism, I like how it turned out and really enjoyed creating all the color variations. I complimented with some touch ups in GIMP which has always been a weak link for me. The 2 part speed modeling videos of this is on my youtube page if you want to go check it out https://youtu.be/dZarRVzMimM?si=SN3fCHG6tD56iqCB
The model is also available to buy if someone wants to use it for a project https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/clothing/vans-checker-slip-on-shoe
