amongst other things. I use this blog to keep track of
those things that inspire me or well I just think look kinda cool!
It’s about that time I purchase a new pair of kicks. Mighty tempted by these PF Flyer Astor in grey.
Have a look here.
“NIKE78 is an exciting new project created by Paul Jenkins and inspired by NIKE. Creatives involved will receive a brand new pair of NIKE shoes and will be asked to use sport as inspiration to challenge their function. The project will be documented on this website and after the shoes have been collected, an exhibition showcase is planned for the London Design Festival 2010. This is a unique project featuring some of the most talented creative individuals, studios and other organisations.”
Fantastic submission by THIS IS Studio found via FormFiftyFive, choosing to knit a pair of beauties rather than decorate a real pair. Get in the minds of the studio here in the interview with FFF.
Mike Leavitt has been around a while with his “hip-hopjects” carboard sneakers. Talented talented man.
Found via Lostateminor and Joyengine.

One of my favourite books to flick through has to be Custom Kicks made by Maki and published by Lawrence King. Featuring so many of my favourite illustrators including Jon Burgerman, Christian Mugnai and Skwak, Custom Kicks shows 224 pages of beautifully presented pages.
Definately high on list of recommended purchases just for creative kicks… buy it here.
