Sneaker Seeker Workshop 2

Here's a little sample of some of the great designs coming out of the latest Sneaker Seeker Workshop. These skins were designed last week on paper, we printed them out on Sneakskin today and they'll be applied to some fresh AF1s on Wednesday. Can't wait to see the results.

Sneaker Seeker project under way

The Sneaker Seeker project is underway! Check out the great write up from Sneaker Freaker. Our very own Chris was on hand to guide people in their quest for sneakskinned sneaks. We'll post pictures of the final shoes as things progress, there are loads more workshops planned.

Barbed Safari

Did these a while ago and forgot to post the picture. Here are 2 different patterns sheets used on one panel to create the effect of a seam. I just created the template like normal then drew a line where I wanted to the seam. Think it looks quite good, might do it again with some different colours next time.

Nike Air Royal Premium

These are the shoes I'd like to do up next. Gorgeous and so perfect for sneakskin.

New homepage image

Playing around with a new homepage image today. We want to get across what sneakart is all about in one image, it's quite difficult. The team thought this was a bit confusing so it's not going up. The hand looks a bit like a strange bird....

One shoe, 9 different looks

This was my submission for the Sneaker Freaker Best of 2008 feature. It didn't make the cut but SF did say they liked the image. My favourite of all these designs is Blue Mischief and That's Life both by talented German artists.

Pumatalk Winner

Hey, we finally got round to choosing a winner. This is a Puma Basket done up in the winning design from our pumatalk competition. Thanks to Andy from Australia who'll be receiving these very soon. Check out the abstract skyline. Also comes in green.

Thanks also to everyone who entered, hope to get some more competitions going soon.

Jack Purcell Make-Over

Here's a before and after of Ollie's old JPs. He did up the complete pair in under an hour. Cleaned with washing-up liquid and water; bit of a scrub and then applied the sneakskin with a new pair of laces; super easy. Go and rate them in the gallery. Thanks to Eekoorn for the design.
