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)

Very nice, but the leather (?) upper looks like a basketball or a pigskin football. Is it supposed to be like that?

That's just the texture of what good leather looks like.

The shoe reminds me of a Puma Blaze of Glory. Looks great!!!

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!!!

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.

Frosty178 · « **Reply #252 on:** March 29, 2016, 02:37:45 PM »

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.

Sk.A.T.A.N · « **Reply #253 on:** March 29, 2016, 05:04:06 PM »

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.

Sk.A.T.A.N · « **Reply #254 on:** April 01, 2016, 03:14:50 AM »

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!"

New ones, éS this time. Went with some old muska shoes kind-of look but with a modern twist. Stoked on it!

PAWL · « **Reply #258 on:** April 10, 2016, 11:13:28 AM »

Yeah, i wasnt 100% happy with the lakai's but i like what i did with the eS ones... They flow better IMO.

Frosty178 · « **Reply #260 on:** April 12, 2016, 02:31:51 PM »

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!

Sk.A.T.A.N · « **Reply #262 on:** April 20, 2016, 12:56:39 PM »

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. It's a lot classier and trendy than the tech shoes i usually do but it has some tech features too. perverted super otaku! told me to do a Canvas shoe so here it is. Hope you guys dig it!

(got some ideas for the colorway and details from the Herman 2, one of my all time fav's...)

coneklr · « **Reply #263 on:** April 20, 2016, 01:03:31 PM »

I'd buy that shoe! Great work man!

coneklr · « **Reply #264 on:** April 20, 2016, 01:04:54 PM »

I do think I'd like a toe capless version though or maybe one with a smaller cap

Sk.A.T.A.N · « **Reply #265 on:** April 20, 2016, 01:22:08 PM »

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.
