| buh kimball (41) Reply | 3:13:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 The blue would be rubber (I don't know the techical terms:)) the black on the upper would be something like a light breathable neoprene (so the foot wouldn't sweat too much). The white straps could be nubuck or leather. The straps would have a heavy duty velcro, so the shoes would be strong enough for actual ball (without fallin' apart). The toe would be leather too. The grey would be a hexagonal (K1x use a hex pattern on some of their stuff so that's the reason for that) synthetic that would have to be waterproof because it continues from the upper to the sole. Not that it would need to be waterproof on a Basketball court but I like most of my designs to be multi-functional: ie you can wear 'em outside too:) Yah gotta be stylin at the mall don't yah? how are the proportions now? |

| Rich Benares (644 Reply | 2:52:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 lol Buh .... whats the shoe made of? it looks heavy to me...maybe an explanation of the materials in the construction of your shoe might be in the cards. |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 2:46:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 Sorry if I'm letting you down Rich:) Well here's the new Lateral view. ![]() |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 2:36:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 Note to potential employers:) concerning the last comment; its not like I'm getting paid for this:) For me, its the adventure of seeing what's gonna come from nothing that really fuels my fire. So we'll have to wait and see what comes next. |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 2:21:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 Well Rich,...I'm an Aries...I can't stand putting that much work into something and finding I have to totally do it over....I'm half-assin' it:) I'll keep proportions in mind for my next rendering. Photoshop: I'll keep lookin'. Thanx. |
| Rich Benares (644 Reply | 2:04:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 Buh, man dont half a$$ it and just "stretch" it. Do it right, and it will pay dividens in the long run. As far as getting Photoshop, you have to purchase it..There are other means as some would know, but we couldnt discuss it here due to piracy laws. Hope you understand. R1ch |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 1:54:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 elongate it more? |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 1:53:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 Rich and Stephen? How are the proportions on this one? ![]() |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 1:43:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 thanx for your critique rich...I think if I just stretch them a little that would fix them. I'll try. I'm limited very simple programs. No Photoshop. Where do you guys get your PS? |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 1:34:00 PM Monday, August 07, 2006 k1x medial view ![]() |
| Rich Benares (644 Reply | 10:40:00 AM Monday, August 07, 2006 Buh, The proportions of your shoes are off. Your K1x are pretty interesting. Redraw it with the proper proportions and I can assure you, you wont be disappointed. R1ch |

| stephen christian (402 Artist Info Reply | 10:22:00 PM Sunday, August 06, 2006 those are some aggressive lookin sleds, BK...they're a little bulky, but they're out there enough to end up pretty sweet, once you tack down the proportions. you've got a good eye for colorways. |
| buh kimball (41) Reply | 7:26:00 PM Sunday, August 06, 2006 I designed this one for the k1x competition at kickspiration (which I guess are now defunkt if I'm not mistaken). I think its one of my best. hope yall like it. They medial, lateral and sole will come along too. ![]() |
