MESH01 X Xtep: 3 new competitions $19,500 in prizes

MESH01 Launches Xtep Cup
MESH01 is excited to be launching the Xtep Cup. This is a little twist on our usual competitions, by rewarding a designer who submits and performs well in a series of competitions.

The Xtep Cup is a series of 3 Xtep competitions; “Holiday” and “Morning Jogging” which launched today and “Youth Freedom” which will launch next week.

Each competition will run as usual offering $5,000 for first prize and $1,500 for second. In addition to these top prizes the top 8 designers will receive points based upon their rank in each competition. (1st-1000pts, 2nd-800pts, 3rd-600pts, 4th-400pts, 5th-300pts, 6th-200pts, 7th-100pts, and 8th-50pts)

At the end of the 3 competitions the designer with the highest total score will receive an Ipad2.
In the event of a tie Xtep will select a winner.

Holiday (fixed gear bike-inspired shoes)
