This is for the description of a shoe. I'm not sure how to translate 'build' in this instance...

far too many words in the header. Really should be just "build"

It looks like all the ads for this type of shoe in English use "build" so I think "construction" is really the closest synonym as it is about how all the materials are put together (constructed/built) to arrive at this particular shape/style. I see you suggested "silhouette" as well which is also a part of it but I think you need something about the construction

"assembly" (assembling of materials) might help in your translation as well

Nike Kyrie 3 Performance Review - WearTesters
https://weartesters.com/nike-kyrie-3-performance-review/
Jan 17, 2017 - Everything was able to flex and move properly instead of having the materials and tooling work against each other. Materials can be very hit or miss depending on player preference, but they're an essential part of a shoe's build. The materials are the shoe's build. Without it you're merely wearing sandals.

Imo, it's about the construction, how the shoe is put together.
