Entry #5404

by damruff

What do you notice when you meet or see someone for the first time? For as long as I can remember, it’s what’s on their feet. Obviously, depending on who you ask this question you will get different answers. If you decided to not allow the next person you asked to give an answer already given, you would at some point receive race as an answer to this question. Keeping this thought process in mind, allow me to introduce to you the SKIN COLOR DOESN’T MATTER (SCDM) Ryz sneaker. The concept of this sneaker was to use the skin of different animals and change the color. The animal skin used on the lateral and medial was giraffe, for the tongue zebra (I also put the words SKIN COLOR DOESN’T MATTER on the tongue in black it’s currently covered by the laces), for the footbed snake, for the heel elephant, for the outer sole cheetah and for the tab lizard. To add further depth to my theme “SCDM” for each section of the sneaker, I outlined it in a color from another portion of the sneaker. I did this to connect the different animals skins similar to how countries are connected on an atlas or globe. Similar to how we are all connected as human beings or how all animals as creatures. Thanks for taking the time review my sneaker design and read my description. If I am fortunate enough to win this contests buy these sneakers. If you do, the first thing that someone will notice if they see you is your kicks.

This shoe is so cool. There is so much creativity involved. "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will." Karen
