Voting goes live tomorrow @ 9am PST👀 The final entry, Corey @internashonalnash Name of Shoe: “Rick James GLOW” “Inspired by the legend Rick James, this shoe is homage to his autobiography “GLOW”. The music video for the song features Rick James and his signature style. His braids are highlighted by the brown hair on the tongue and the color way is his outfit on the cover art. Long Live the Legends…”
A couple highlights left before voting goes live tomorrow👀 Isiah @spaceboundinc Name of shoe: “Royal Blue” “For myself, this is just another door I’ve gotten the key for to unlock this one. More opportunity, more ways to be creative, and more ways to bring my ideas to life, don’t wait just trust yourself, vision, and then execute. All and all, this is what happens when opportunity meets preparation.”
Next we have, Madi @bunni_lime_boutique Name of shoe: “Cowboy Sundae” “When coming to this class, I only had a couple of vague ideas as far as shoe designs go. But the ideas I had went out the window when I saw the sparkly pink and the fuzzy materials. I immediately wanted to create a shoe around it! The first word that came to mind was COWBOY! But when I put all the colors together me and my classmates I thought it looked like neopolitan ice cream or a birthday cake. All things that reminded me of childhood! Now me being the youngest in the class, my childhood wasn’t too long ago. But I don’t think it was too far from my classmates either. I hope these shoes remind me and others that childhood will always linger no matter how old we get! So I combined all of the ideas to create the COWBOY SUNDAE🤠.”
Up next, Philip @designerphil Name of shoe: “Black Ice” “Black ice naturally forms when the temperature drops below zero, forming a thin layer between you and the road that’s almost impossible to see. Black ice is dangerous.”
Starting out SL39 highlights we have, Steven @sburstyn Name of shoe: “Hyperfrost” “It is an exploration of blue tones & textured to represent the Arctic circle. A majestic place filled with penguins, polar bears and earths most abundant resource, water. A reminder to take care of the world that provides so much beauty that we treat so crudely. Be the chance you want to see in this world. Don’t be frozen in fear, be Hyperfrost.” Stay tuned for more of the highlights!
