October 2006 - Casual | Skate | Lifestyle | Nike DENyeon
 6.70 / 10
I made this shoe out of clay in one of my ceramics class's. Once it was
fired, I painted it with acrylic based paint. Then I laced it up with 45
inch oval laces to make it as real looking as possible. The shoe was
influenced by Nike Air Force I's, Nike Presto's, and Nike Air Max 90's. I
tried to come up with a casual semi-retro looking summer sneaker by
combining different features from those shoes. The Nike DENyeon is made
of full leather upper, plastic straps, and the classic Air Max cushioning
system running the whole length of the foot.

October 2006 - Casual | Skate | Lifestyle | Nike Air Zoom RBG
6.69 / 10
The Nike Air Zoom RBG is a simple, yet stylish casual sneaker. It was inspired by the memory of my father, the late David Gale, and his passion for cricket. Although it was not actually intended to be an athletic performance shoe, it still features a few performance attributes such as full-length zoom air for maximum cushioning under-foot, ballistic nylon mesh which allows proper breathability, a lateral forefoot outrigger for improved balance, and last but not least, a TPU heel counter for added stability. It also features chrome aglets (lace tips) and a strip of translucent rubber at the rear of the outsole with the letters "r-b-g", which represent "R"o"B"in "G"ale. (He was popularly and affectionately known by his nickname, "Robin").

The main idea of the concept is to combine light and tight
forefoot support (running / tennis ) with system of moveble eyelets ,
situated in an overlayed silicon channels on a silicon whole shoe plate
; extending allowed laces , using à screw system to connect its
separated parts ; minimum outsole pieces for max lightweight . It also
allows customizing the ride according to clients needs in the moment by
choosing suggested by the manufacturer, or creating a new lacing
schemes .

October 2006 - Casual | Skate | Lifestyle | Converse Weapon 2K7
5.48 / 10
Design Concept: "The rebirth of a legend"
A true legend of the hardcourt, the Converse Weapon has been a witness to the glories and sorrows of professional basketball. Its tracks are still etched on the hardwood. Its soul still runs the floor. Maybe it’s just rightful to give the spirit another body, and help set milestones in basketball history once again.
Details: Half of the shoes' upper is made up of synthetic leather, while the lower half is of laminated leather – to make it look elegant. The strap is also made up of laminated leather and is provided to achieve the desired fit for the user. A dri-fit bootie with tiny perforations is also halfway exposed at the Achilles area. While the tongue is also of the same material. Perforations were provided at various areas to enhance ventilation. One feature of the shoe is the TPU backing of the Nubuck Leather Chevron logo. This is geared towards achieving stability at midfoot. The foot support system extends to the heel area with a carbon fiber heel counter which will keep the foot in place. A carbon fiber assembly (footbed) provides a stable pad for the foot. While the midsole is made up entirely of EVA for comfort. The ‘cuts’ in the midsole down to the non-slip rubber outsole provides maximum flexibility, movability, and control. Click here for details.

October 2006 - Casual | Skate | Lifestyle | Puma Jekil
5.29 / 10
The JEKIL's goal is doing a link between the retro/lifestyle/casual and the new technology.This "hybid shoes" is realised in some materials that we can see in the CLYDE like suede and and rubber for the sole it's mixed with some piece in a brightly colored plastic coating it introduce a game with the duality new/retro .
Moreover the name of "jekil" refers to "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hide" as the clyde whas inspired by "Bonnie & Clyde".The inspiration of the two character is visible if we compare the front and the back of the shoes.
When we see the front of the shoes the simply shape remain us the classic model and when we see the back we see that the shape could come of a recent shoes and both it's make an unity like "Dr Jekill & Mr Hide"
To conclude we can say that the "Jekil" mix the lifestyle and casual needs with a retro touch.

ERIK ARLEN Tuesday, November 28, 2006
October 2006 - Casual | Skate | Lifestyle | Es Flat Skate Shoe
7.03 / 10
Is simply inspired by the skater use of their shoes...its well known that
the skateboarding sneaks are often worn out. That is why my Es flat has reinforced fore foot. This part also need also lot of flexibility for the accuracy of the foot in
order to make all the flips and tricks with your skateboard. That is why I
decided to add a thin P.U injected shell on this forefoot part
which can be adjust thanks to a velcro over your laces and brings more
protection.
I also put a air cushioning system on the heel to provide more comfort to
the skater... the chrome
splitted heel is both hard and flexible in order to hold better your ankle. Click here for colorways.

AURÉLIEN LONGO Monday, November 27, 2006
October 2006 - Casual | Skate | Lifestyle | The APEZ
6.11 / 10
I imagined a shoe inspired by the first shoes created by the "3 stripes
brand': the GAZELLE, the SUPERSTAR, the STAN-SMITH, which are all now considered as lifestyle wear.
So I designed a very simple shoe that includes some technologies like transparent
plastic sole and mesh toebox. A good shoe has to be comfortable and aesthetics pleasing.
