1-2-3 Draw!


October 2nd, 2008

hon_men_shoe.jpgIn August, to celebrate the Tour du France, there was a one hour design competition. It is exactly as it sounds. Designers only had one hour to conceptulize a brand new running shoe. Sometimes, one would argue that the best work someone does involves going back to the inspiration after hours of going around and around.

The most unusual entry was from Barloworld. It featured a set of retractable spikes a la Wolverine that only appeared when you were shoving off. How would this be executed? I am not entirely sure. Since this is a “concept shoe” it will probably never be actually produced, but I could imagine that if created it would be best left in the hands of the pros!

The rest of the entries can be found HERE.
