id love to buy those lakai's!!!!!
Thanks! I Would love it too! Haha
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!
