The De La Soleil basketball concept was a 3 day project from start to finish. Inspired by The Matrix, Shawn Marion, this shoe features a full length Air Max unit encapsulated in an organically formed EVA midsole for superior heel-to-toe cushioning and stability. The upper showcases an anodized 360 lateral reinforcement structure, adjustable ankle strap and padded dri-fit foot sleeve with a subtle sublimated jaguar print.

Adidas Beckham Soccer Concept
This Adidas soccer concept was another quickfire 3-4 day project. It was designed with the focus of taking David Beckham's game to the next level while simultaneously reflecting his personality. It's slip-on construction consists of a lasered synthetic lateral panel for additional stability and an elastic underlay that hugs the instep for superior fit and comfort on the field. A snap-down extension at the ankle allows for easy entry. Smooth k leather swoops from the medial quarter and across the toe for excellent flexibility and increased contact surface for better ball control. A translucent TPU cleat plate featuring Climacool technology reveals the ultra-thin underlying EVA midsole that extends into the cores to disperse cleat pressure and reduce weight, making it one of the coolest and most comfortable shoes available. As an added bonus, the details reveal more of the man himself, from his cars to his tattoos and even a hint of the new team.
