What you will get

A dramatic ad-style picture of one tilted sneaker floating in mid-air, with bursts of coloured paint powder, flying laces and particles, a studio gradient background and a strong shadow underneath.

Common mistake

The shoe gets a fake logo, or extra laces and eyelets.

Fix: Describe your shoe’s real colours and materials instead of a brand name. If your tool takes a reference picture, add a photo of your shoe.

Other ways it goes wrong

The paint powder hides the shoe. Keep the powder behind and beside the shoe: “powder bursts behind the sneaker, the shoe itself clean and sharp”.
The two colours blend into brown. Choose colours that sit far apart on the colour wheel, such as teal and orange, and say which burst is on which side.
The shadow is missing, so the shoe looks pasted on. Keep “dramatic shadow underneath” and add “the shadow matches the light direction”. A matching shadow sells the floating effect.

Try a variation: boot or heels

Swap “sneaker” for “leather boot” or “high-heeled sandal” and the paint for dust or petals. The floating-product recipe works for most footwear.
