What would make young people of Z Generation interested in streetwear willingly visit the website and make purchases of sneakers there?

problem statement

problem statement

Create a website with streetwear sneakers that would attract the widest group of streetwear target audience - Gen Z - to buy from there. The key was to tailor the website for this target audience, having in mind that some websites of competitors lack in features important to these users, including:

  • seamless social media integration, hindering signing up and sharing products

  • authentic engagement features such as user-generated content sharing and feedback

  • inclusivity - overlooking the diverse preferences and identities within the streetwear community appearing in the absence of unisex categories for non-binary users, leading to a sense of exclusion and frustration of some users

  • streetwear drops and raffles being effectively centralized - users find it hard to stay informed about exclusive releases

I incorporated features such: reviews with user-generated content, social media sharing, rewards, product drops and raffle participation.

How Might We

How Might We

I was looking for answers to two key general questions: How might I meet users' needs? How might I reconcile business goals? I broke down these into more concise questions, applying HMW formula from Interaction Design Foundation: “How might we” + Intended Action (as an action verb) + “for” + Potential User (as the subject) + “so that” + Desired Outcome.

The color palette for this design was primarily influenced by the existing logo but my choices about it were supported by research on color psychology and its relevance to Gen Z. This palette is crafted to capture the essence of streetwear culture and to be visually stimulating and appealing to Gen Z, who appreciate individuality, bold, vibrant, yet harmonious aesthetics, and modern design.

User Acceptance Testing

Prototype

objective

Project aimed to create an engaging and user-friendly streetwear sneaker website tailored to Gen Z customers. The primary business requirements were to streamline the checkout process and enhance Gen Z engagement through social media integration, user-generated content, and gamification. User goals focused on enabling product reviews and comments, staying informed about new raffles and drops, and sharing streetwear finds on social media. To ensure the design met both business and user requirements, and to evaluate the design's effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction, I conducted User Acceptance Tests (UAT) with few Gen Z participants.

Methodology

Participants: I recruited five participants representing Gen Z, aged between 21-28. These individuals were the same I interviewed in user in-depth interviews.

Testing environment: I met participants in person and conducted the testing at their homes.

Tools: Participants tested the prototype using the Figma mobile app on their personal smartphones.

Qualitative data collection:

  • Participant feedback

  • Observations of user behavior and interaction patterns

  • Think-aloud protocol during testing

scenarios & Test insights

1

Scenario: Participants complete a purchase from product selection to payment as logged in user.

Goal: Verify that the checkout process is straightforward and optimized for speed. Gain the users' opinions about gamification element - discount code for purchase.

Insight: Participants found the checkout process intuitive and quick, appreciating the minimal number of steps required and the progress bar indicating how many steps remained. Participants liked the idea of getting the discount code for every purchase, finding it motivating for creating an account on KicksZone and making more purchases.

2

Scenario: Participants want to share a product on their social media profiles.

Goal: Ensure ease of sharing the product.

Insight: Participants easily found the "Share on social media" button on the product page. They stated that the button is well-placed and encourages them to share the product.

3

Scenario: Participants sign up with social media profile.

Goal: Ensure ease of signing up and integration with major social media platforms.

Insight: Participants appreciated the social media sign-up buttons, while Google and Facebook accounts were the most commonly used for signing to any site on the web they used.

4

Scenario: Logged in participants write a review on a product page.

Goal: Confirm the functionality and accessibility of the reviewing system.

Insight: Participants enjoyed the ability to write reviews, feeling it enhanced transparency and community engagement. They appreciated the "Helpful? Yes/No" feature alongside reviews, which provided reliability through social approval.

5

Scenario: Participants sign up for being able to join the drops' raffles.

Goal: Gain the users' opinions about drops' raffles feature.

Insight: Participants were enthusiastic about the idea of the drops' raffles, finding them exciting. Notifications were described as clear and easy to find in the global navigation.

Final Conclusions

What this project taught me

I enhanced my understanding of the design process. I learned that there should be user journey done in the process, and I included it in the project.

I improved my UI and Figma skills, mainly in creating components effectively. I gained knowledge about design systems and the fundamental laws of UX.

Collaborating with two front-end developers I practiced my ability to communicate effectively and actively sought feedback throughout the project lifecycle.

I learned about Gen Z characteristics, design preferences and their consumer behavior. I gained knowledge about what the sneaker culture is.

I discovered effective prompts for generating satisfying AI-generated images and identified various free tools and plugins for this purpose.
