SAUL MARET Monday, February 07, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Fila Ferrari
         5.82 / 10 Saul's Ferrari concept at first look is much like most of his renderings - unique and distinct. He thinks of this as a lifestyle shoe. Italian based Fila is the brand since they've been Ferrari's sponser for many years and a big story in motorsports as a whole. As for the design, Saul actually built the Ferrari shoe with the shape of a basketball shoe in mind.

 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | F430 Concept
         7.53 / 10 Edgar's F430 concept is anything but what we'd expect from a 1st time submission. The 3D modeling showed Edgar's skills but it is the bronze/yellow/greenish mixture of a color that makes the design stand out. While we doubt there's any real production Ferrari in that color, it does show that he's willing to think beyond the box. All that and we've not cover the part where the shoe is powered by Reebok...

LUVELL STEPTER Saturday, February 05, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Ferrari F430
         6.78 / 10 Newcomer Luvell steps up and delivers one of the few yellow Ferrari's of the month. The simple and clean design bears resemblance to the Nike Flightposite/Ultraposite lineage. Fore foot air pocket system allows air to flow through shoe and escape through the mid ankle plexi vents. Carbon fiber arch support system gives stability for stops and turns with minimal added weight. The flexi glove upper material is a breathable light weight leather grunch rubber sole Nasa material gives ultimate control. Overall, light, fast, sleek and shiny - just what a Ferrari is suppose to be.

PIETRO PELLICELLI Friday, February 04, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Puma F305
         6.74 / 10 Peterflight's latest creation is a Puma shoe, the Ferrari F1 partner for 2005 season. The name F305 is because 305 is the height of the basketball rim in centimeters - Ferrari is very precise in naming their car (every number has its own meaning). The main structure is composed by the heel portion and mesh upside part, a Puma Disc rotor secures forefoot fit while the ankle is locked down perfectly from the all around strap which works over the "wing" and is adjustable using a slider. Cushioning is provided using Puma cell technology at the heel and forefoot.

JOE IM Thursday, February 03, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | F430
         7.08 / 10 Joe Im's sudden return was certainly surprising. Yet his submission showed us that his BioGlide Freestyle last summer was no fluke. Joe uses much of the same simple yet elegant style that made him successful last year. This concept incorporates a lot of little details from the F430 - most notably the fire red Ferrari engine show as the arch support at the sole. The main focus in the construction of the shoe was stability, as is evident in the ankle support design. Finally, his attention to detail goes as far as finding the right stitching design from the dashboard.

VENTSISLAV NIKOLOV Wednesday, February 02, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Nike Saturn
         7.13 / 10 We especially enjoyed Ventsislav's first entry in 2005. Mostly because we see the drastic improvement in combining his creative ideas with a design that can finally win the hearts and minds of a fan. He stayed away from the exact shape of a car and instead used the Ferrari's speed, beauty and heat to create a mind blowing design "from the beach to the courts". It is called Saturn because of the 3 ball shaped "planets" and their "rings". The upper side is supposed to be made of light and plastic materials that can allow for easy movements of the foot. What really keeps the entire shoe together is a silicon like material that is strong and yet resilient.

YUBO GONG Tuesday, February 01, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Ferrari X Flight
         6.62 / 10 Yubo's back this year with his strongest performance yet. The automotive cues are obvious enough. This dreamy sketch remind us of a Cinderella glass slipper, just waiting to be tried on in your on-court fairy tale scenario. Before you complain about ankle support and all that other practicality non-sense, we got to give Yubo props for coming up with this creative design. Let us remind you that Ferrari's are not meant to be practical and this shoe epitomizes what dreams are made of.

SANDRA ROMBOLI Monday, January 31, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Ferrari F430
         6.21 / 10 Sandra's purpose was to create a pure concept of the Modena F430. A black 3D mesh sock is heavily used in the interior for comfort, security and breathability). The smooth flowing lines of the shoe is covered by a smooth metallic synthetic to enhance stability while maximizing speed and performance. What we like particularly about the design is the way air can flow from the air intake mesh at the toe area to the twin exhaust vents at the rear.

LEI WANG Sunday, January 30, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Puma Ferrari F430 Basketball
         6.67 / 10 Lei's first entry is a solid representation of the Ferrari 430 Theme. Rims, tires, carbon-fiber and exhaust elements are apparent to go along with the smooth flowing lines you've come to expect from a Ferrari. A secret weapon for guards who puruse fast movement Full-grain leather and nubuck upper offer durability and comfort. A small portion of mesh increases breathability. TPU side plates and TPU heel cup give maximum support to feet. They also simulate some features and parts on Ferrari car. Midfoot shank plate with a silver Ferrari logo provides arch support Heel and forefoot Puma "CELL" technology, along with a Phylon midsole, offer cushioning. Solid rubber outsole with herringbone pattern provides traction.

MARTIN WONG Sunday, January 30, 2005
 January 2005 - Ferrari 430 | Puma F430 Modena
         4.52 / 10 First time submission shows a lighter side of shoe design - almost cartoonish. Following the sleek, modern exterior of the f-430, the shoe carries a very smooth aesthetic appeal through its plastic reflective casing and futuristic shaping. On both sides, the shoe mimicks the Ferrari's rear window with a transparent plastic covering. With an inventive substitution to airholes, the shoe has molded case vents to allow air to flow into the shoe, similar to hood scoops and side panels on the Ferrari model. Drawing further inspiration from past shoe designs, the F-430 Modena shoe concept possesses a crash-heel support, similiar in appearance to the original Nike VC Shox. Laces are hidden in an intricate lace-loop system. To allow more freedom and heel support, the backing has an added leather support handle. To mimick the tires and traction of the car, the shoe has a tire like tread-pattern on the sole, along with one of the two logos present on the shoe, retaining a clean, simplistic look.
