Ben, That is some nice work. Glad to see you are putting in the hard work. I have no doubt you will make it in the industry.

For those interested, That is part of a "tech pack" which is basically a blueprint for a shoe. It includes all of the parts of the shoe that have to be molded as well asline drawings of the entire shoe. As you can see in this example, it is for some of the molded parts. The other molded parts...

Yes, there is zoom.

ssgefiestoakagerger: The environmentally friendly piece is a Nike wide initiative that will eventually reach all levels of Nike product. The XX3 was the main"starting point" for this. Granted, there were and are considered shoes out there, but how many were introduced with as much fanfare as...

KeonClark7: I have noticed that, too. I am kinda surprised that the discomfort is there as much as it is, as "brake pressure" is something that theyusually call out in weartesting, and is usually addressed. Splitting the urethane pattern there would have allowed for a smaller mold to make the...

ed2324: There will be a low.

They didn't exactly end their bball line. There will still be things releasing in the near future that are aimed at high performance because they work 18months in advance. So, if they completely stopped designing new shoes right now, they would still be covered for 18 months. While it is true...

I know John did the tooling and the original upper, but I am not sure if he finished this one or not.

Here is a pic of MJ wearing the orange basketball version.

Nice post guys. Those are some interesting shoes. I can definately apprecite when the 'little guys" bring something different to the table, but Nick,the Brooks F2, really!? What draws you to that shoe?

Man, Nick. Your really like the VI that much, huh. There nice, but not that nice. Also, that is not the real VI.

Congratulations, PP! I just saw the shoes in SLAM. They look nice. Hopefully the company will make enough off of that shoe to have you do another one. I'msure that was valuable experience, and I know you came away from it with a great deal of knowledge that you will undoubtedly use going...

Just some insider info about the charity version. The Jumpman was placed on the heel of THAT version because the Jordan branding on the tongue was removed to make way for the personalization for the child who worked on it. So, to still have the Jordan branding on the upper, it made sense to...

So, to answer some questions about the shoe. The shoe was done in collaboration with the Doernbecher Children's Hospital. A child who has been there several times for surgery on his arm came in and helped us do the colorway and color placement on the shoe. He was in a terrible car accident when...

Should be a good time. I'm convinced. I'll be there. . . .and its been this way forever. . . jtmac33@yahoo.com

Chris Chicago: You make a valid point in that most of the lifestyle shoes these days are retros. In fact, that discussion surfaced at AND1 many times in the process of developing their lifestyle line. Interestingly enough, the retro segment will not form the majority of the lifestyle line for...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. . .shoe god, do I detect some hostility? No really, though, I know exactly what you are saying. Hopefully the product can continue down the path we were trying to take it, but I am seriously worried about that happening. I just hope people get to see the stuff that you and...

Ellis is wearing the Onslaught. They are not the shoes in the wallpaper above. The Onslaught will be a statement level product that will retail for more than the Cornering Mid (in the wallpaper above). The Cornering will be cheaper. . . .and its been this way forever. . . jtmac33@yahoo.com
