I know I havent been the only one to get bored & fuck around on some artistic shit. Post any sketches or doodles in here or even just airy concepts in your head. if you had the chance to make a pro model shoe, what would it be?
Today I had a lil sudden inspiration and got to sketching, something i havent really done in years. Anyway I was thinking about that new etnies Marana shoe & its lil guard on the toecap, & the TPR sidewall on the skytop 3's thats basically indestructible. I was thinking what if a shoe sorta combined both of those elements & got to work.
I always liked the 2011 air jordans because the main piece of the shoe is like a one piece toecap & sidewall all in one, and I thought that would be great to implement in a skate shoe. It could be made of reinforced suede, or even possibly the same TPR rubber in the zoom tres or skytops. I wanted superb durability. so I put an airbag in the heel of the sole as well as a plastic shank guard for your achilles on a mid top silhouette. I also like how the old nike zoom tre AD's had the hidden lace loops next to the inside of the tongue, so i threw that on as well. inside side panels & tounge would be mesh just like the new Reynolds shoe. anyways heres what I came up with. Im no illustrator by any means, so excuse any shit jobs I did of minor details. fuck drawing shoe laces. the black part at the top is reinforced trim, that white part between that & the side panel is the expose leather "skeleton" of the shoe, with the side panel on top of that.

Backing this thread. Would really like to see what people can come up with. Especially with everyone complaining about shoe designs. Myself included. Not sure when, but I'll draw something up at some point and post it.
The shoe looks alright. Digging the bubble. Can definitely tell that's from a Jordan shoe. Haha.
It would help if you put a brand on it though. Like, is it a Supra shoe, Nike, etc.?? Kinda looks like a really tech Vans shoe.
-
yeah i realized the leather part looked like the vans stripe just as soon as I got finished. I might have to refine it sometime, or just learn how to draw better. lol. if i had to brand it itd prolly be a Supra shoe. If I made some nikes theyd be a lot different. I might have to make some adidas joints just for the hell of it. they need more midtop cupsoles.

this thread REAKS

Made a lil update removing the extra top layer as well as making the angle/perspective straight on horizontal. pretty much the best this design will get. Ima have to make some Nike & adidas ones next just because i like the challenge of incorporating the big logos into a unique design. might fuck around & do some more later tonight when i get back from skating

Your shoe design reminds me of a pair of osiris I had back in high school, mine were white with red accents though. CCS sale, $20 ahh how I wish I still wore a 7.5 again, so many good sales for people with small feet.

I would actually buy those Adidas and CONS. Solid work, man!
While I'm not particularly fond of C1RCA, that actual design is really solid. I could see a shoe like that on the shelves for sure. And that grip pattern? GOD DAMN.

Yes! Emerica should re-release them in a thinned out vulc model.
I would buy a pair or two. It's probably too early, but I want them to revamp the Herman 2s.

haha shit i really thought I was the only one who did this.. I just moved to China otherwise I'd dig up old notebooks I have from college.. I always wanted a es square two/ circa maxson combo- low top cupsole with a one piece toe and hidden laces like those david gonzalez globes.

I did this shoe for a footwear design competion, and I got a sholarship to this Pensole footwear design academy up in portland. Got to skate Burnside and listen to some NIke designers. Its a Vans stage four traced, cause my drawing is pretty weak.(http://mesh01.blob.core.windows.net/contestsubmissionimages/e7df564f-722a-437c-9637-ff143aa28066.jpg)

My second attempt. I wanted to make a shoe that was similar to the dunk with alot of similar features you would find in a more tech shoe. I combined the dunk mid silhouette with the sole of the Supra Ellingtons with a real airbag & the toecap of the etnies Marana. I have contemplated just giving it the basic dunk sole & taking off the marana toe cap but whatever thats something you can imagine on your own if you'd prefer a more simpler shoe. theres also a mesh tongue & inside sidewall similar to the g6's or reynolds as well as the swoosh being "fused" on like with the P-Rod 6's or Kostons.

^ Seriously dude those designs are sick, how exactly do you paint them like that? I plan on making a pair of custom skytop 3's. It's the all white TUF one's but I wanna keep the sole, tongue, and inside collar all white, painting just the upper in a dark, flat black. I got some colored paracord that I want to use for the laces as well. Tryna get on some creative shit with my kicks lol. But my main concern is painting it properly because I dont want the paint to crack if I'm skating or wearing these for a while. The TUF material is like some sort of treated canvas that's really durable but kind of stiff before breaking in so I'm wondering if it should flex out the upper before painting just to less the likelihood of it cracking.
-
The Tuf material should paint well, the trick will be to keep your paint super light to avoid flooding the holes in the canvas. I'd go for multiple passes of very light spray.
As for keeping paint off the places you don't want it to go, I'm very careful with masking. The prep work takes longer than the painting.

Hell yeah thanks man! Whenever I get around to doing it ill post the results in here

I would buy it, looks like it would be fun to skate. The Yeezy colorway would be an instacop. I could see this taking off as just a sought after sneaker as well with the Jordan 3/BA elements. Now I want to draw up a dream shoe.

^ Thanks man! If you're the creative type it's definitely fun just to fuck around with from time to time, it's dope to see a shoe made & catered specifically to your own personal tastes. pro's are so lucky to be able to do that and actually get paid for it.

Where's that vulc lowtop Sk8D00D 2?

I want a skate shoe modeled after my first pair of sneakers from when I was a three year old. They were velcro (so the laces won't rip) and they were orange, white and silver.

I've made a start on a couple ideas.
(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p636/FiestaFrost/temporary_zps7a8e90b7.jpg)
Was going for a suede toe cap, suede panel on the side with the recessed lace holes. Lower half of the tongue is mesh with the top part suede, slight padding, lace loop. Thin cupsole. Top lace hole with a metal eyelet. Simple sides with padding to the inner collar. No brand markings. Just a start though.
The other idea is a desert boot, but it needs more work.
What you guys think?

looks good

I wanna see that desert boot!
that sketch you have now tho is a solid simple yet functional shoe. It's not something I'd wear personally but i think there'd be a lot of people who'd gravitate towards that type of shoe. still, you said you were just getting started so I know how things change. Once you get that overall feel for what you wanna do, its all the small tweaks & details that make the whole thing come together. heres my OG prototype next to the final.

Thanks guys.
Drawn it a bit bigger now, working out the kinks. I'll stick it back up when it's done.
The desert boot is fucking me about though, proving hard to get the lines right!

Trying to do an inner side too, but I can't decide what sort of ventilation to do.

Thanks man. Yeah i'm in a art school but i'm a paint student, nothing design related. I draw shoes just for fun and love for footwear.

A new one, this time a little simpler, to please the slap audience. I took some inspiration from the nike presto and the etnies highlight but not as heavy tech.

Damn. Both look wicked. Why all emerica?
I like how you've got angled shots, shits difficult to draw.

I dont know, i like to draw shoes with a brand/skater in mind. Emerica is one of my favourites so why not?
Yeah practice leads to better designs, i still struggle a little in the back view tho.

There are some very cool designs in this thread. I really like your sketches, Sk.A.T.A.N!
Drew these three a while back. Obviously inspired by old eS classics.
I've made some colorways too, if anyone's interested!

Well, thanks to you too! Haha, digital is pretty much the only way for me... I really need to work on sketching by hand.
Anyway, here are some colors!
First of all, I think that almost every shoe should be released in these three colorways:

A couple more colorful. I think it suits that style of shoe.

Been working with Alive shoes to put out a sick skate shoe kinda on the higher end but full grain leather and a quality sole makes the price worth it!

My second attempt. I wanted to make a shoe that was similar to the dunk with alot of similar features you would find in a more tech shoe. I combined the dunk mid silhouette with the sole of the Supra Ellingtons with a real airbag & the toecap of the etnies Marana. I have contemplated just giving it the basic dunk sole & taking off the marana toe cap but whatever thats something you can imagine on your own if you'd prefer a more simpler shoe. theres also a mesh tongue & inside sidewall similar to the g6's or reynolds as well as the swoosh being "fused" on like with the P-Rod 6's or Kostons.
(http://i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/WillEasley309/photo_zpsea772476.jpg?t=1368959122)
I picture this in the colours of the back to the future shoe. Grey suede with the grey rubber toe piece. Pretty sick dude.
thanks fam. I'm try to work on the laces next, haha

Those look a lot like the old trainers SB used to make, I always really liked the way they looked but could never find a pair that wasn't outrageous in price.

Just one that doesn't look like its being marketed towards rappers, less lifestyle and more functional.

Done a quick one, with a pen. The pink is just to highlight some details and inner things. It's pretty simple, with a Blazer or Chuck Taylor kind of silhouette, but with more tech details to it. (GIVE ME A JOB IN THE INDUSTRY! ;D )

I know you said you're an art student right? A buddy of mine is an industrial designer (we went to college together) and he has a job designing basketball shoes for Nike. Apparently they also hire architects. Maybe if you tack on one of those degrees as well as painting you could land a gig, or maybe even just a minor. I think you should keep painting because your eye for color can keep all the bunk ass colorways they're currently producing from reaching our eyeballs.

Yeah i have two more years to complete my degree in painting but i'm thinking in making a industrial design complementary degree when i finish it, is something i always liked. The thing is me being portuguese is really hard to go outside and get a job in this industry. :-\

They remind a little of the Nike Thea (which is a girl shoe :P), but i like the silhouette. I just think the would not be functional with such a thin sole in the front. They would get a hole really fast.

I would just combine the Crockets with the Old Skool pros. I like the feel of the waffle cup, but I prefer the profile of the old skool, so if those two would be combined into one shoe I would be very happy.

Just drew a new one, i think my best one. I'm not to fond on Huf but they just got Bledsoe on the team, and since he is one of my favs why not design something for him. I had some inspiration in his etnies shoe, the highlights, that was a great shoe but with some flaws that i tried to avoid.

you put a lot of thought into these, I love all the tech features (especially the H in the sole, I'm guessing adidas torsion inspired?)

Actually not, i never understood really well the torsion system... Ahahah. The H on the sole is just for aesthetics but it could be a harder compound to be like a primo pad. The H from the sides is inspired in the inner locking thingy that the Nike BA's have but on the outside, i think is one of the best features of them...

I sent some of my shoe drawings to Jeff mikut at lakai and he gave me a really positive feed back. He told me i could keep sending my work so i made this one with lakai in mind.

I love slim tech shoes but i have some classic designs in mind. Like a rubber toe high top or a slip on. I'll post them here when they're done.

Yeah, i dont have any rights over this i guess... We only talked with the direct mensage thing on instagram, But he is being friendly (the first that answered me) so i'm not worried. Actually if he took some ideas from my drawings i would be more stoked than pissed of now that i think about it. :)

Mikut never answered me again. I know he saw the drawings because it appears the seen logo on the DM's on instagram. Maybe he is busy...
I want to send this to more people but i dont know if people actually use the DM feature in instagram. I sent the old runner toe shoe to Lakai and Mike Carroll insta some time ago but nobody seen it.
Now i sent to Scott jonhston Insta too (i know he doesnt work with lakai anymore but he could give me some insight). No response yet too.
I think i will try to work more locally. Send my sketches/ideas to smaller companies that maybe would apreciate it more and give me some chance.

That's the obvious choice, yes. I thought you had done that already. How's the industry in Portugal? You have a lot of great sketches and interesting ideas. Here's hoping I can buy one of your shoes someday!

Thats the problem, there's no industry. No Shoe brands here. We actually have a great shoe industry, with great quality, but just dressy/fashion stuff. Nothing sport's related. A famous old brand here, called Sanjo (similar to Converse), when came back from extintion had to produce their shoes in Asia because we dont have machines to vulcanize the soles anymore.
In Europe the scene is dead. I just know Servant, the brand that sponsors Mike V... They seem legit actually. I'm thinking in talking with them and send some sketches.
I'm also thinking in OUS from Brazil, i'm a fan of their stuff and there's no language barrier!

Last shoe i've been working on... I will try to work digitally on them to try different colorways. Then i will send them to OUS to see what they think. OUS is a rather small brazillian brand, but growing fast and doing great things so i would be really honored to work with them.

Why you say that? I'm not acting like nothing... I'm just a kid that loves shoes and loves to draw/create them. I just like to have feedback on the work from the people i send it because i spend my free time (i dont have that many) on this and i try to improve it with what they say back to me. If anything bigger comes from its a plus but i know how hard it is to that happen.

last one is actually really good. well thought out.

I've said that on your Instagram, but the last one really reminds me of Orelh�o style payphones. Literally "big ear". Especially because of the TELESP colors and the token-like design in the shoe's tongue:
(http://www.jornalcotiaagora.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/telesp.jpg)
(http://bestinhadasboa.zip.net/images/ficha.jpg)
I know it's not what you had in mind, but the whole design really brought me back. TELESP, S�o Paulo state's telephone company, was eventually privatized and there are way fewer public phones like that around. It's still an iconic Brazilian design, hence why I thought you were appealing to that when designing this model. The slip on is amazing, too.
Oh, never thought that was you! You dont have any picture related with skating... It's a nice coincidence, i could really emphasize that if someday (somehow) it goes to production! It goes well with the OUS mentality too. Thanks for the tip! ;)
-

damn Sk.A.T.A.N., I really like those too. The thought you put into them is impressive, hopefully something comes of this for you! I really really like the slip on with the pull cord tightening system. I would absolutely wear that.

People are really digging the slip-ons! I saw some hiking boots at a sport store and they had a pull cord system in the front, so that was were the idea came out... Maybe i'll draw a remastered version with color like those last ones (when i got some free time)! ;)

Wish I could draw like you, SKATAN. I'm terrible at drawing but have lots of ideas for a shoe. Your designs look pretty good, I wonder if Lakai is going to step in the athletic-shoe aesthetic. Hope things work out with OUS, also Filament might seriously take interest in your stuff. Tim Gavin said himself he didn't like the designs of the first run of shoes, and he values other skateboarders' ideas, and they could well benefit from your input, so...

Thanks man! I dont hate the first run of filament, i just thought they looked kinda cheap... Same sole for everything and that one with the zigzag rubber thing looks awful imho. The new ones look clean, but a bit lazy, they bring nothing new to the table, all remeniscent of something else. The one i really like is the moose pro, i nice low/mid cupsole. But for now i'm more focused on OUS, i really dig their shoe program and concept. All shoes are made in brazil and use lots of renewable materials, and they are getting bigger day by day!

really thank you Frosty, Silky, Fulfill, Julz! Apreciate your kind words. ;) (Julz, you're brazilian or you just went to the translator?! haha)
I'm a Canadian doing an student exchange in Rio, that's why my Portuguese is sloppy haha !

These look great. I'm really hoping somebody picks you up as your designs look better than a lot of the crap out there. Good luck and keep posting!

really diggin that last one! kinda reminds me of a supra ellington/cuba mix. in a good way.
-
Thanks a lot guys!! I didnt thought about the cuban till i was about the middle of this drawing... Funny, maybe my mind was getting me there, since i really like that model. The back half was more inspired in the presto, one of my all time favourites. And that inner tongue thing from the gel Lyte 3. I love using runner influences in my shoes.

Rafael Narciso, owner and leader of the design section at OUS sent me a DM on instagram saying they will work with me the next time to develop/produce a sample, that could result in a final product to hit the streets!

Thanks guys! I appreciate it so much. I hope this works out! ;)
I read that OUS is opening a webstore for US and Euro orders soon. They are making some moves out of Brazil, its time too expand the business!
They are sponsoring Rob Gonzales for a while now so they done a collab with BLVD... https://www.instagram.com/p/_rqsShIhWL/?taken-by=ous_oficial (https://www.instagram.com/p/_rqsShIhWL/?taken-by=ous_oficial)

so stoked for you good job. promise me you wont make something generic though.

That heel holder draw string thing is a great idea. Doesn't look bad either.
I'd stick with just laces on the front though. Seems like you're just gonna have to put laces in after you do a few heelflips with that on the front anyways.

S.K.A.T.A.N. wanted to leave you a message, you have an absurd talent for designing shoes. The creativity of the designs, and the strength of your art, which helps to bring them to life. Wow I'm blown away, stoked to see your future work with OUS. Hope you get picked up and payed even more in the future, because the shoe industry has become so stale with their designs, and you're doing something special!

It's not job yet! Ahah
My main goal is to do a clean, funcional design, that actually brings something new to the table. But i need to work with their requests/expecifications, they wont give me free space i guess...
MYXGAMES2015: I tried to make the laces on top to avoid that and that green thing is supposed to be some rubber to stop the griptape to hit the laces and that air vent thing. I dont know how well that would work tho. Laces could be always an option...
Sleepypancakes: i want to get my hands on a pair soon too! How do you know my name?! ;D

Made a quick re-design of the Ishod Dunk (the GOAT), like if it had something new to bring, and not just a slim-down dunk.

Damn, you're doing a better job than the pros. I know that are loads of fan boys for the Ishod Dunk, but it looks more or less like the original (non-SB) Dunk low. That's not a bad thing, but if you're going to 'redesign' a shoe, redesign it for fuck's sake.
Anybody with an industry hook-up lurking here, you'd better hook SkATAN up with a job!
Edit: I love the nod to the BA shoe. Sucks that Nike dropped it so quickly.

Weird, I was thinking today if you would take a request for a dunk prototype! Are you following me? Haha.
Think a screened toe that echoes the original dunk toe shape would be good on a one-piece toecap. That's just me though!
I like the reflective hints.
Still weirded out that I thought about this today before I'd seen it.

Thanks Busted! A friend of mine tagged me on a Instagram pic of the Ishod dunk's and i was like "Meh, this really doesnt look like a pro shoe at all, i'll make it a little twist" and then i done this at the bar in my sketchbook barelly without light haha...
BA's are my favourite skate shoe design in a long time. I love every feature they have, and they inspire me a lot when drawing shoes!

A shoe company should pick you up quick. A lot of fresh ideas. I've seen Nike try to use the pull cord on shoes in the past. Not SB's, but still. Haven't seen one I like until yours.

Nah, i'm usually shy when i draw, i hate people staring at me while drawing so i go to a corner a draw it lonely or with a friend. Also my girlfriend wouldnt like that tactic.. Haha

New Babies... Heavily inspired on the Buztits and Gato's. Featuring a new middle foot brace to increase arch support and make the shoe closer to the foot (I dreamed with this but dunno if it's clever or not).

Great designs. Something about you liking the Ba's tells me you could dig them with internal laces, internal sockliner connected to the pull tab and one piece sole with slight tread

Looks like it could work. The structure could prevent some of the blowout some shoes get - where they loose their shape after a while and don't offer much foot support. Great work again!

Thanks dude! Yeah, if they had some kind of bounded plastic/rubber underneath the suede it doesnt stretch as much. I hate when they become all floppy. I have to tie them really tight to feel my foot safe and then they look like shit. That's one of the main problems i try to focus on my shoe designs, stability.

Damn skatan forgot to compliment you on that Ishod dunk remix. If it looked like that maybe it wouldn't get as much hate haha. It kind of reminds me of the old SB team edition from a decade ago.

I'm always kinda bummed when shoes don't have removable insoles. I like tucking my shoe laces under them when I'm not skating, but it doesnt work as well when I can't tuck them under the insole correctly. If I was designing a shoe, i would have stash pockets on both sides of the ankle so I could tuck my laces in them.

Thanks Distant! This one was quick but came out nice. Knox even sent me a wink on instagram! :)
This one was the last i made. Didnt posted it here because it's not a skate shoe but fuck it. It's for the pensole world championship challenge and i'm really stoked in how it came out, a huge progress in my way of drawing sneakers.

How goes your interactions with the BR skate industry? Have you hawked your stuff to Hocks or QIX or maybe even Drop Dead? There are plenty of small brands around, too, some decent and some that are just kinda gross.

I know them all, but i just like OUS stuff... Hocks has 1 or other model that i dont mind (formiga pro is kinda nice, not my style but i like how unusual it is) but thats it. BR brands always do lame knockofs or mash ups and i hate that...
For now i'm waiting for OUS to get back to me again.
Also started talking again with mikut at lakai, he's being really nice and seems to like my later stuff. He talked about a project he has in mind, i didnt understand exacly what it was but i guess he wants my contribution. Already hyped on it!! :)

Glad to hear Lakai might give you a chance to work On my way! project. They could definetly use a different eye when designing their shoes. For awhile I feel like a lot of their stuff looks the same.

Glad to hear Lakai might give you a chance to work On my way! project. They could definetly use a different eye when designing their shoes. For awhile I feel like a lot of their stuff looks the same.
Thanks man!! Yeah lots of vulcs in their line that are really similar. I usually go for cupsoles when drawing sneakers, you can do lots of diferent stuff with a cupsole. I'm also a fan of the cupsole feeling in real life too. Some slim tech cup flavour wouldnt hurt them!! :D
-
New ones i made guys! Tech Midsole, with a desert boot cut. Those were really fun to make. Also found a new way to blend the colour pencil and the result is so much better. Really happy with the result!
(The features are on the drawing)

So you're named after Michelangelo. I'm guessing your parents are thrilled with your aspirations. Good job, voted for you. I don't think most of those designs in the contest are feasible at all, but I'm no sneakerhead and not up to date on fashion, high or otherwise.

Yeah, that's why I paint too... My fathers choose my destiny before me. ahaha
And yeah i do think most of them would't work as a actual shoe. Some are too futuristic but there are some great sneakers that i could see doing well in the market!
What really infuriates me more is the blatant ripoffs that are there. I see a yeezy 750 boost/huarache/Vans hybrid, a Nike presto, lots of over inspired in y-3 adidas shoes and the one thats against me is a straight up copy of the Nike Swoosh Hunter. I just hope those people dont get on the way of the ones that really worked for this.

Thank you all people! You're being the best! Slap's the best!
Watson/Frosty: Throw those things here! I wanna see them! No shame guys.
franquietits: That shoe is one of the ugliest things ever but i love them. They were such a big bold statement at the time. It's the case of "they're so bad that they're good". ahaha A skate version would be funny as hell!
Turtle Boy: Yeah, some pretty obvious inspirations around there, others are straight copies. It's so blatant. I'm not saying that my design is revolutionary but at least i think you cant tell that its a exact copy of something.
There's also some great concepts there, but i think lots of them forgotten the main focus, the shoe is to sell after. People want a fresh looking sneaker, not a spaceship on their feet. ahah
-
Voted! Feeling all your shit, get it!

Ahahah the fucking Kobe Robocop foot! Forgot about that thing. I remember I had to go to Footlocker to try them on just for laughs because they were so crazy. I think I might have ripped the seam a little on the little tongue flap thing trying to cram my fat feet in there haha.

Jordick, that one reminds a lot of mid 00's shoes, but with that g6 type of inner vent (a must have in my opinion)! Cool that people are posting something in this thread besides me! Ahah
Thanks guys for voting on me! Hopefully i pass this fase too!
This week i went with improving my photoshop skills to boost my campaign for the WSC comp. I'm really happy with how it came out, like trillion times better than my last one (it's the second time i render a shoe on computer)

I said on my project that the upper is synthetic leather (G.I.S.M. would be proud) so that is what i'm trying to emulate.
Zebra, you are the first one to discover my main influence for this shoe! People talk about a huarache vibe and stuff but they are wrong. I love Blaze of glory's and this shoe started when i was lookin' at some PICs of BOG's on the web. That was the spark i needed. (I really need a pair Ahah)

Haha. I've also been wanting a pair. Haven't found a pair yet in person. Gotta try them on in person. I got too many shoes as it is. It's a problem.
Keep up the good work!!!

My Wigga ;) To be fair, shoes that tech shouldn't come in suede anyway. When are the results released?

That sucks man. Maybe next time! Your design looked better than most. You have a talent and plenty of skill. Hopefully one day we'll see a shoe you designed produced. I love how you actually make tech shoes.
-
Damn dude, that does indeed suck. Some of those other designs were complete dog shit too.
Keep cranking out the design work man, some of the stuff in this thread is wicked. That dunk still plays on my mind.
-
Thanks for the kind words dudes! I really appreciate that. Painting classes and high school suck all my free time but will try to keep doing stuff and i'll post here when i got something new.
I'm still waiting for responses for people at shoe brands but i dont wanna be annoying, always sending messages and stuff, so i'll just wait for it.
-
New Lakai joints i made. I think i went a little too far with the tech look, but tell my your thoughts... Anyway, the description from my instagram post: "it features a reflective stripe on the back, a little rubber edge bellow the eyelets to prevent lace ripping, neoprene bootie, mesh vent with clear coat for endurance, a rubber shield on the toe and a foam cage on the heel (with the flare form) for that lovely impact protection!"

The back two thirds of that eS shoe is wicked! There's just something about the toe that is bugging me. Personal opinion though ain't it! Keep the coolness coming dude.

I think the toe came out a little too long and lifted. Didnt noticed till i scanned it, but i kinda like it that wa, it's more stylish ahah. Thanks for the feedback! ;)

New one in! Now it's a State concept i did to send them. I know they are a new small company so they may dig my stuff.

I'd buy that shoe! Great work man!

I do think I'd like a toe capless version though or maybe one with a smaller cap
-
Thanks for the feedback coneklr! I thought of the toe cap because it's a big trend on skate shoes right now but tried to do a cup instead of the usual vulc sole. The idea of it was to also prevent the weakeness of the canvas upper. A suede capless version could be a option too tho! Almost like the timtim dekline's that had lots of version with and without the toe cap.

You know i have good taste in shoes eheh if i could chose a emerica shoe to be rereleased would be those probably. I know that there are classic models that people love but i skated those and they were so good. That puffy collar is next level confort.

You should probably just swap that S for an Emerica triangle. What are those, rubber thumb tabs? This just isn't the kind of shoe State wants to do. Also, I dig how you hated on them for unoriginality, then you just rip-off an Emerica shoe...

If you think this shoe is a staight rip-off you should get your eyes checked. If you think a shoe appears from nowhere than you're just dumb! It's called inspiration, and i even told you all where i took it because i dont have any problems with it. They are still pretty unique and original.

The only thing i took from the Herman 2 was that deco stich and the colorway (but that doesnt even count IMO).
I wanted to make a shoe with a vegan upper, like canvas, but that would last a week without the toe cap so I went with it, 2016 or not.
The ridge on the toecap has a function. Its where the shoe gets more abrasion from flips so it makes sense to have more rubber there and less in the Pinky toe zone to still be able to flex. The rubber toe it's not just a gimmick, it works so why not use it?! That ridge appears in shoes like the matchcourt, the all court, the NB pro court, the converse jack purcell, gives it a more classier look that tech so it made sense. And tell me what shoes you know that have a rubber toe cap and are cupsoles? I dont remember any.

(got some ideas for the colorway and details from the Herman 2, one of my all time fav's...)
(http://skately.com/img/library/shoes/large/emerica-bherman-2-black-green-white.jpg)
You should probably just swap that S for an Emerica triangle. What are those, rubber thumb tabs? This just isn't the kind of shoe State wants to do. Also, I dig how you hated on them for unoriginality, then you just rip-off an Emerica shoe...
If you think this shoe is a staight rip-off you should get your eyes checked. If you think a shoe appears from nowhere than you're just dumb! It's called inspiration, and i even told you all where i took it because i dont have any problems with it. They are still pretty unique and original.
I love how you hate things with true passion but then i just have pitty of you. You're the lamest dude around here but i think you already know it.
C'mon, dude. You put a toecap on it, too. Toecap, 2016. Pretty unique? You even ridged the toecap just like the Nike CK1.
The only thing i took from the Herman 2 was that deco stich and the colorway (but that doesnt even count IMO).
I wanted to make a shoe with a vegan upper, like canvas, but that would last a week without the toe cap so I went with it, 2016 or not.
The ridge on the toecap has a function. Its where the shoe gets more abrasion from flips so it makes sense to have more rubber there and less in the Pinky toe zone to still be able to flex. The rubber toe it's not just a gimmick, it works so why not use it?! That ridge appears in shoes like the matchcourt, the all court, the NB pro court, the converse jack purcell, gives it a more classier look that tech so it made sense. And tell me what shoes you know that have a rubber toe cap and are cupsoles? I dont remember any.
Do you see that it's hypocritical of you to defend yourself for ripping off a bunch of shoes in your own designs, but to bemoan State in another thread for doing the same thing? Or how it's hypocritical of you to call me lame for calling out your unoriginality when did the same thing to State in another thread?

Dude, you're just trying to put me down because you dont like me, not giving any constructive criticism, that's why you're lame.
This shoe was not meant to break any walls with it's design but it's unique on it's own. If you think it's unoriginal it's up to you (however i dont agree), but if you think it's on State level of blandness then you're being delusional...

Dude, your mock Lakai shoe model looks amazing! Love how sleek it looks, even more so than the Es Swifts. I would happily purchase a pair.

It was fun to draw a canvas shoe! Thanks for the idea man! ;) State page on insta saw this drawing and gave me a really kind comment which was nice of them. I'm not expecting them to give me a job, they dont owe me nothing, but its cool to have companies getting back to you and giving cool feedback.
Yeah man these look rad!
Thanks dude. I was in a creative crisis this week and then this came on paper. One of my own favourites designs thats for sure. I think i nailed a cool silhouette with it.
I actually got one a new connect today because of this drawing... Lets hope something comes along with it. :)

Without a degree in design is pretty hard to get companies to take you seriously... A Shoe designer has to know lots of things, more than just drawing shoes and i dont have that experience unfortunatelly. A big company like Nike or Adidas would never hire me that's why i'm trying to focus on smaller companies were you can reach them at a personal level. If they like my work they may give me a chance.

Finally got the courage to share one of mine, did it a little while ago. Heavily inspired by Reebok workouts. I've not done any brand logos or anything, so it looks (and probably is) half finished.
Also, keep in mind it's a low top, I can't draw in proportion. Clearly.

You're getting better dude!! Workouts are seriously one of my favourite silhouettes. The toe reminds me of the linx too which is a classic. I have some tips for you. When you beggin it try to use a image of a side views of a shoe you like and use it to get down the outlines. Then the proportions will be more realistic and once you get used to it you dont need to do that anymore.
And also, dont be affraid to scratch that paper! Do a initial sketch were you can get all dirty and put all your ideas into it. Then when you nailed a cool shoe you start a clean one. I do that everytime! ;)

Rad. Starting with something like this is easy enough to trace in Illustrator. Also, get a pic of a shoe from the internet and trace the outline, might help your proportions.

You can get an old, mostly unsupported version on any torrent site I'm sure. They made it more difficult when they switched to being cloud based, and I get it free so I would have no idea how to get the latest version if you even could. You can get it full for $20 a month now.

There are some shoe templates on the web that can help you get down the right shape of the silhouette down. Then you just have to play with the inside. Doing a quick outline helps always when starting a new side view.

I'll post it here tomorrow if i find some, i'm on my phone now.
I never used those kind of templates actually (i already have my way to start a shoe) but i have a friend that talked about them to me.
Edit: i went to google and searched "shoe template". It appears lots of them... I saw a vans old school one, a nike dunk sb one, a DC manteca one... You just need to choose the type of shoe you want then make the tweaks you want to.

Thanks dood!

Probably the craziest one i ever did, dunno if people will like it but it was fun as hell to do.
What i wrote on my IG: "It's an evolution of the @etniesskateboarding highlight, a underrated shoe IMO but that had some flaws that I tried to avoid in this one. It has a heavy influence of those crazy old runners like the huarache, the disc blaze or the pump fury but with skateability in mind. Its kind of a slip on but has a rubber cage that it gives stability and durability, doesnt bag out too. Suede toe with a screened toe cap. A big hole on the side for breathability and a neoprene inside, thought for wearing sockless. Light, strong, stable and perfect for the summer times."

Thanks man! Yeah, i had that Pump Fury/Fury Light vibe in mind while doing it. They're really interesting shoes, I love them.
To quote my "things you are stoked on" post:
I think it's closer than ever for you guys to finally see a shoe designed by me in the shelves. It will be a OUS shoe (A rad brazilian footwear company). One of their pro's saw my drawings on instagram and sent me a PM to draw his new pro model. So I did it, we worked together and the design came out great. He sent it for the OUS guys and they loved it, so they told me they are going to work on some samples in the next 1/2 months, and if they work great they will be mass produced. They will pay me for the design and send me a bunch of shoes too. I'm so fucking stoked.
Also, I did a Etnies shoe design recently, and someone tagged Don Brown on it. He came to my insta and liked a bunch of my other stuff, then commented my pic congratulating me and I said in a kidding way if he ever needed a shoe designer to talk with me (i wasnt kidding tho ahah). He told me that he was really impressed with my work and would do it for sure. Pierre (owner of Soletech) also commented saying it was a rad design. I was stoked (A boy can dream). ;D

Probably the craziest one i ever did, dunno if people will like it but it was fun as hell to do.
What i wrote on my IG: "It's an evolution of the @etniesskateboarding highlight, a underrated shoe IMO but that had some flaws that I tried to avoid in this one. It has a heavy influence of those crazy old runners like the huarache, the disc blaze or the pump fury but with skateability in mind. Its kind of a slip on but has a rubber cage that it gives stability and durability, doesnt bag out too. Suede toe with a screened toe cap. A big hole on the side for breathability and a neoprene inside, thought for wearing sockless. Light, strong, stable and perfect for the summer times."

I really like the idea of this shoe! It looks great. You've been killing it lately.
I will say I wish you put a mesh, knit, or neoprene material where the whole is around the ankle. I feel like it comes across as more of a chiller without some lightweight breathable, durable material there.

Thanks dude!! I dont quite understand your idea. My idea was to use a neoprene lining in that camo part and on the inside of that rubber cage where the ankle sits to not rub it hard and create blisters. Then the rest would be suede or nubuck with that mesh parts on the toe and heel for some added ventilation. It could exist some Chiller version of it with a full mesh or knit upper, but this is the skate version. ;)

I see what you're saying. I like the way you think about design. I guess I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around having the hole by the ankle exposed instead of having a mesh behind it so you can't necessarily see through the hole. A full knit upper would be tight. I like the texture it has compared to mesh.

Yeah, I know the hole isn't for everybody but I think that's the funny part about it, looks almost like a skate sandal, ahah. A whole knitted sock would be cool too, almost like the presto flyknit. Would be a option yeah!

I think it's closer than ever for you guys to finally see a shoe designed by me in the shelves. It will be a OUS shoe (A rad brazilian footwear company). One of their pro's saw my drawings on instagram and sent me a PM to draw his new pro model. So I did it, we worked together and the design came out great. He sent it for the OUS guys and they loved it, so they told me they are going to work on some samples in the next 1/2 months, and if they work great they will be mass produced. They will pay me for the design and send me a bunch of shoes too. I'm so fucking stoked.

Interesting shoe. Finda has a bit of a Reebok Furylite vibe too.
Thanks man! Yeah, i had that Pump Fury/Fury Light vibe in mind while doing it. They're really interesting shoes, I love them.

Congratulations! I'll be the first to buy them once they're out. Can you say which pro is it?

Thanks guys!! I can say who it is, i just cant show the drawing i guess. It is Roni Carlos. It's a mid top like his old model, kind of a evolution of it.

Went a little crazy with this one ahah
"Adidas "Push Boost". My last concept, exploring all top tier tech by adidas, but in a skateshoe. It started as a runner inspired on the ultra boost, but i made it skateable. Full suede toe, knitted upper for breathability but protected on the weak spots. Boost foam on the midsole, from back to front (it thins out on the front), caged under a rubber midsole, full impact absorption. A caged upper for superior support and stability. Seamless inside for confort. The front stripes are rubberized and act like a ollie pad, then connect with the medial side stripes with the laces acting like a bridge. This babies would be pricey af but they would perform the best!!"

Thanks man!! I need to retouch "Strings" actually. It has some drips of paint due to bad storage at the classroom... nothing too bad tho. I like that one because it was the first one i did in this "language" and it worked great. I'm just more into doing simpler works now...

I tried something new today, check this gif:

"The shoe itself is a sporty hightop, with a full lenght bounce midsole for that impact protection. It features a crazylight boost '16 type of collar, then those straps give a supreme lockdown to the foot (project BA's, my ultimate inspiration). Your foot isnt going anywere, trust me! Then a rubber layer on the toe for that endurance. Classic adidas colorway too. Hope you like them!"

Another great design Sk.A.T.A.N! Not necessarily my style shoe but a really well thought out shoe! The only part I think I'd modify a bit is the achilles/collar area ... maybe a little more padded would make it feel better to me aesthetically, but definitely feel like at that height a little dip in the center to help prevent rubbing/blisters on the back of the achilles tendon?

Thanks coneklr!! Yeah, i totally get you're saying. That collar is inspired on the new crazylight boost '16, its some kind of stretchy material, similar to neoprene. Its not hard, and adapts to the achilles so i think blisters wouldnt be a problem!
Thanks sodajerk too! 😉

Been kinda busy latelly and havent done that much stuff to post here unfortunately. So I'll will show you stuff that I dont know if it is to keep a secret or not but fuck it. (I'll not post them right here but you got the links to see them if you want).
In the past few weeks I got my first payment drawing shoes. I drew a mountain biking/outdoor shoe for some dude who saw my stuff at IG. Got 250 bucks for 2 days of work, I aint mad at all. They came out good too, since this is out of my confort zone. I just did the upper, the sole is his idea/concept/project. Fastest payment ever too.

I'm also working with a fairly new brazillian skate shoe brand, that is just starting, "Special Footwear" or just "SPEF".
A little intro clip by them:
¨PALHAÇADA 01¨ This is SPECIAL! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNXpv0z3WFo&feature=youtu.be#)
They got to talk with me and are really humble dudes so I thought "why not?!" and went with it since I got some free time right now.
They have one first model out that is kind of a experience but I already did a new one for them that is going to happen really really soon. I had to use the outsole they already have but i designed the upper, taking it back to those old school runners and old skate shoes era (as they requested). They will pay me with shoes for this first time then when they got more money the plan is to get actual cash! ahah

Then last night I did this Emerica shoe, for fun. I was trying some different uppers for Spef and I liked this one but didnt liked it with their sole, so I just re-did it with Emerica branding, different running sole and a neoprene bootie. Came out better than I thought first.

Also, I'm waiting for approval in a big project with the Staple Pigeon brand right now, but I aint got the final response yet. Fingers cro$$ed! 8)
-
So I heard that "The Boss" Reynolds is gonna work on a new Emerica shoe so I tried to make a new pro model for him and see if I can reach him.
See if you like them guys! :)

1. adidas busenitz X 15.1. It's black and white because i used a highlighter to colour it and in real life it looks like a tennis ball.

2. Not skate related but it was fun to draw: nike mercurial huarache (mercuriache? Huarurial?). Would probably be a horrible soccer shoe.

Nah fuck that man, I'd definitely wear those football boots. Maybe add something to break up the toe area a bit, but that back half is sweet as.

Do you use an pencil or go straight marker? The proportions are pretty good but yeah they are really close to the Reebok design wise. Actually one of my favourite Reebok silhouettes and looks so skateable!

I use pencil to start, then do the outlines with microns. For coloring I use whatercolor pencils, then I use a brush to blend the colors better. I'll give some volume with the pencil again and highlight some parts with a white ink pen to finish it.
