Entry #13735

I love these shoes. They look great. They make me laugh. They represent something that's actually a part of the D&D game. And, best of all, the art is 100% original. Well done, Jared!

Not necessarily D&D, but lots of fun nevertheless

Thanks guys! Also ArtOrder/Art Director of WotC: Since when was slaying goblins haphazardly not a vital part of the D&D experience? : )

Some design guidelines would be helpful if the judges are looking for a particular type of homage to D&D. Another thing I like about these shoes is that the design cuts across editions. From 1st to 4th, fans of any generation love stomping goblins!

I would buy this shoe right now. I want it so bad it hurts. Seriously, it's a killer design that both the D&D player and the sneakerhead in me adore.

@ Jared. Darn right, stomping goblins is nothing but a great D&D past time. I should have been more clear - they are rather stylized for D&D, but I I think they are lots of fun! And fun is the name of the game for hi-top tennies...hence why I fav'd it!

This is so awesome. Hats off to Jared!

Sorry about the double post, but I didn't notice the squished one on the bottom. Hilarious!

Awesome design, great colors, I love the flattened goblin on the sole. I think there might be room in the product line for Kobold-killin' too! Since Wizards is so influential, maybe have a group with different "roles" represented.... :)

These don't scream D&D to me - but they are very clever. I like them - creative and wearable. My favorite of the final designs to vote on. Nice job!
