Fun little sketch Richard! I can see Santa rockin those…

This week’s sketch wars competition prompt on Facebook is Air Max :slight_smile:

This was an earlier concept I was working on. I got 90 minutes in and just started to hate it.

My concept for the Air Max Sketchwars. Air Max hasn’t been used on a real performance running shoe in forever (ever?), so dialed up a Nike 6% Elite concept with React Midsole, S curve Carbon Fiber plate with double stacked heel Air Max, forefoot ZoomX and ZoomAir with some added air for ankle and achilles cushioning for fun.

The heat is on! Love it Richard!

a little something I did for an article on the home page:


What an awesome thread! Here’s my version of a sneaker, with more color ways on my instagram. I would love to learn more about footwear so I can be more informed when making these design decisions. They were mostly for aesthetics.

Nice work Linda. The awesome thing about shoes is that we all have them. I always recommend that designers cut apart a few of their old pairs of shoes. If you have a bandsaw you can saw them open to look at the cross sections. :slight_smile:

OMG… I threw out my cool air max 90’s and some boots end of last year. Marie Kondo’d the old shoes. I still have a NB pair that’s getting pretty old soon. Thanks for the awesome idea!

something rom the flight home… a lit but like if a AJXIII combined with a chuck boot :slight_smile:

some hairy random air max jawns

yah, super cool!

thanks fellas! man being out of work/unemployed i feel like i’m just doodling the same things in a loop…where things look both unrealistic and yet not really imaginative either

They are super inspiring to me. :smiley: I love how dynamic the last concept looks even though its just a side view. The rendering and details are fire!

ha! lin-da i fooled you, any details seen are a bit of the mirrors & smoke!! :wink:

LOL you got me, you found the junior on the boards! :smiley:
