Floating Sneaker on Pastel Gradient

A single clean white-and-mint athletic sneaker floating slightly above a soft pink-to-lavender pastel gradient background, casting a small soft shadow directly beneath it. Studio split lighting with a subtle rim highlight on the upper edge of the shoe. Square 1:1 e-commerce hero composition, no laces flying, no logos, no text overlays, no watermark. Crisp product photography, photorealistic fabric and rubber textures, magazine cover quality.
