Competition for Onitsuka Tiger sneakers

the results are finally out for the customisation Onitsuka Tiger sneakers competition held by Asics and RunnersWorld. no i did not take part. have to purchase the shoes to draw on it and onitsuka tigers arent cheap! unless someone sponsor me to tamper with the shoes lar. lol.

take a look at the RunnersWorld website. they feature all the 15 finalist's entries and showing the top 3 short writeups as well.

think the concept for champion is rather good, but the execution during painting seems very rough. ha. Anyway he's a tatooist, maybe he's more used to doing on human skin than canvas. ha. dont know why but tatooist gives me the creeps. esp the recent incident where the amatuer tatooist did his work on some lady, whose husband wanted to get back at her. shudders~

winning design

side tracking a little. but anyway go see the other finalist's works as well. like the one done by dominic wong. the graphic of the dog and the japanese lady in kimono. maybe it's too simple he did not win. ha.
