Thanks Edgar!
Your design is very cool...as always it seems like you can put a hand into the pc screen and really bring the shoe out of it!
The design is simple but sophisticated thanks to the nice pattern and nice details, asymmetrical collar is jordanesque too, well done!
I can see a couple of cool details also on the flat part of the outsole...maybe a single small tortuga pattern with the jumpman on the side, positive vs negative.
Ciaooo

Edgar, WOW!! A small tweak here and there and I could definitely see that being a flagship Jordan. If that could have been the XX3, I would feel at peace. Amazing Job. |

Agree w/ you TH.....definitely Weird.
For my point of view the rating system has to be definitely rethink as WR already mentioned it. (who knows it'll maybe happens with the new: logo,website... ), especially when we see how serious become this monthly theme and that more and more people seems to spend a lot of times on it, everybody deserves to be more honestly and seriously judged/rated.

possibly if a personalized kg comes along, like has been mentioned, that will give way to more pure interaction and feedback, etc, if each shoe entered had its own thread. that might be a bit more effective than having one thread for 15 different shoes. and i really really hope edgar didn't submit the tortuga for freestyle, because if that didn't make the finals, i expect to see cosmic implosions and cats turning inside-out very soon.

I've seen this trend of vote manipulation going on since I found this website a year or so ago.... Truly, it’s really nothing new. Some people will do whatever it takes to win. Yah-this month is crazier than normal, but I always like to go back to the “Rules” of when submitting an entry and remember what this site is really about- "Remember that respect is earned, not stolen. BE TRUE TO THE GAME!" Yes, we all have put a lot of time into our entries, but to me this site is more about learning- and growing as designers than winning. The deserving may OR might not win in the votes this month. But, those who have done well will gain the respect of those who are true to what this web-site is trying to accomplish. Everyone has their own preferences, but I personally give out my respect my winner- Brett Golliff! Brett you pushed the bar to crazy heights. Yes, you did take some slack for the "functionality" of your design, but like it was said-that can be easily fixed! Plus, your Photoshop rendering is sooooo good that it has tricked people into thinking that you used a 3-D program. Mad Props!
P.S. --Edgar Vergara- You have been one of my top fav designers since I came across kicksguide. I love Your Tortuga! The print is Bangin.' Your design is simple- yet elegant-fashionable-fresh……I could go on but it is Hotness! Haha -Cherry!!!!

Jonathan thank you for the compliments. I worked really hard on those renderings. During college I hated 3/d programs so much (I realize their value and I can use them) but I told my teachers I would do my best to convince that I could fool their eye with a good photoshop rendering. Its much more expressive in my eyes.
P.S. I am not going to be around for a little over a week. So everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving and also good luck during the rest of the competition.

Regarding the ratings, keep in mind, there are automated jobs to catch and eliminate those who are tampering/cheating. So yes, you will see scores spikes and drops, but in the end, it will even itself out and the cheaters will end up wasting both their time, account and creditbility. |

Hey Pietro, your imaginary boss is right, it looks even better now.. but one more thing maybe; that red stitching looks like its made out of neon light.. a bit too bright..?? But I'm nitpicking of course..
Saw your shoe ad in SLAM! Did you play in the shoes already? ciao. PEP
oh and Edgar: that rendering does like amazing, your shoes look more natural every time, and the designs get better and better too..! If you send this in for next months theme the kicksguide logo might just become a turtle shell soon.. |

Pep!
Yeah...the boss is very picky ;)...anyway the rendering was thought for a different colorway, so i had to re-adjust a few layers, and i'm still not happy even with the enlighted part of leather over lateral malleoli, it needs to be rotated a bit down...
It's almost a whole year I'm playing in Hops shoes...this evening I've played a full game wearing lo-cuts, and I had no stability problems, very nice ride...which could mean 2 things: 1) medial wing works really very well; 2) 35 years of age over my legs have reduced a bit my power...I think reason 1) is the most true, since I'm still an ATHLETE ;)
Vents! Olè!
Thanks a lot for your words! I think Hops look even better in person ;)
It's a long time i don't hear from you...Are you already into the industry?
LENS FLARE TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Brett! I really like your concept and the execution is superb too!!! Freeeeeesstyle!
As opposed to what DE said about the ankle collar in the back view, I like it so thin, it makes me think like the shoe is in the "OFF" position, and it turns "ON" only when you put your foot into it.
My idea about your anatomy is more like you have a reverse anatomy; lycra-skin, graphite-bones, foamposite-tendons...anyway good thought.
Jean Claude: yeah, NGÜ is a super lightweight basketball shoe.
