Note to all of the companies ripping designs off of this website:

If you are going to steal someones design and not compensate them for it, the least they could do is send you a pair of the shoes you are knocking off to the person who designed it. I mean really.

Congrats Ryan!! Haha. Those actually look pretty good. I think they did a decent job of translating your design to life.

PEAK is the brand Shane Battier wears, right? Here's the original.

I only commented on this when it came to my mind after Andrew's post. His post brought it to the top of the chat board. Can you post photos of those knockoffs? I'd love to see them.

No, I'm not going to help you sue them. I'm still a little hurt that on one has knocked off any of MY designs. I don't handle rejection very well. :P

Ryan, I can tell you, the outsole design on my Lebron 3.5 got knocked off by at least 3 companies, CBA, Deerway and 361. I have 2 other designs also got kocked off. What do you need the photos for? Are you gonna help me to sue them? :). I can email you the photos if you need.

Lei Wang's 3.5 got knocked off by some Chinese company. Can't remember the name. Anybody still have a photo of the knockoff of this shoe?

there were a lot of good shoes, and edgars was pretty tight, but i dont think there is any beating lei wang or nganga villa ismael. those were off the hook. pietro pellicelli's was tight as shit also. i liked how he gave the shoe in 4 diff colors. and trung trans was good too

Some people just love to hate man, what can I say! I personally like the design. It would be nice to have D come in here and possibly share some sketches he did on the shoe and maybe his thought process once the shoe has been released.

That shoe will grow on you like wart on a frogs a$$. Trust me, by the time that shoe is realeased and the colorways are revealed you will see a change in thinking from those NT guys. It will only take certain group of guys on NT to say.."Those are FIRE!" for most of the flock to follow suit.

On another note Dallas, whens yours going to be out man? It says august of 2005 on the site..yet Dadas site is down. lol

On the Edgar thing about him not posting comments. Maybe its a language barrier? I dont really want to assume and be stereotypical, but Im not gonna give him too much heat for not saying anything.

Cheers

That's a good point, Pietro. Even Joe Im, who kept himself a similar mystery for a long time, eventually came on and chatted a while back. But no Edgar.

Congrats Edgar, you are dominating this year comp!!! Even if, as said, 3d skills could hide some weak points, I think that your concepts are anyway and always close to the top...I didn't like much your Ferraris but other designs were slightly weak as well (mine included)...the one, to me, that gained too much was the Huarache Plus Max that had some strange shapes at forefoot that was hidden using back and under sole views...It was the past though, so I hope to see new stuff from you soon!!!

You guys (Ryan, DALLAS) are missing the real problem...who is Edgar??? He never posted here, so your questions are dropping right on the floor...It would be nice to know even his opinions...but never seen him posting. That's the real problem besides not showing thumbnails and sketches...

So Edgar, please, post some comment!!!

Holler- thanks for the kind words. I've submitted a concept for the SL competition. I made this month's entry quite a bit more casual; to tell you the truth, it's not my favorite...But, those that I have thought were strong have scored very poorly. No matter.

Ars- Been very busy with work...lots of meetings early in August and a ton of planning for September projects. Further, my wife and I are pregnant with our first, so that's been keeping me busy around the house...she can't cook due to nausea, so, I'm awfully busy in the evening...But, I'm still here, just not too often.

I most likely will be a no show for august as well, but I will be showing some sketches and some ideas I have / will come up with. Been a busy month at work and also really needed to spend more time with the fam.

Edgar - congrats to you bro and to everyone else that made the finals.
