bhwk Puma Baskets in Honor of Vaughn Bode_3883March 11th, 2010 |
The cartoons of Vaughn Bode delighted readers of National Lampoon and other magazines during the 1970s. His main protagonist was Cheech Wizard who appeared in National Lampoon between 1971 and 1975. Puma has unleashed the Basket model once again in commemoration of a slice of American culture.
I have passing familiarity with Bode’s work but I enjoy Puma’s return to the 1970s. The colors are sharp without being garish and Puma did not paste Cheech Wizard all over these Baskets. There is a fine balance struck between the fun contained within Bode’s work and the serious celebration of his overall catalog of drawings.

I wrote about the Puma Basket celebrating the 1970s Seattle Super Sonics in a recent post. The brand is celebrating Vaughn Bode with a set of Baskets using the cartoonist’s vibrant colors and shapes. The pair shown above feature colorful shoe laces and the word “Bode” in red underneath the familiar Puma symbol. Ozor Project Blue Foot x Air Jordan - Design CompeMarch 11th, 2010 |
To have a look at the finalists check Project Blue Foot, with commentary on each sneaker. A must read for design-heads.
Mayden and Edwards stated that the designs focused too much on the back story of the design as opposed to trying create real world innovation. The judges wanted to see some modification work with tape and ripped up kicks mixed with some ideas for improvement.
The winner has been announced for the Project Bluefoot Air Jordan design contest. And the winner is…Tom Matic. Jordan Brand design gurus D’Wayne Edwards and Jason Mayden judged the entrants and had some very interesting constructive criticism.

Flhn Proline Golf Shoes (et al) From Australia_154March 11th, 2010Looking for their golf shoes I went to their site in Australia which has 300 golf products and 17 golf shoe styles?to find out that they have been around for 32 years, busy in the Asia/Pacific market, most proud of their Grip-Lok system (which seems to be a golf bag with slots for each club and it grips them I guess -but there’s very little by way of explanation).? They also make clubs, buggies, gloves, putters and accessories.? But we’re interested in their shoes which look… well, interesting! Proline Golf Shoes (et al) From Australia |

I show two pairs here -both ladies’ -? the Sky golf shoes above and the Camilla below.? The two pairs show the variety that you can get in?a light(ish) leather golf shoe.? Watch this space for some mens’ golf shoes from Proline.? At the moment I have no info on prices or availability abroad.

S4 of Sole Creations took a different approach to his Obama-inspired Air Force Ones than other designers. Rather than focusing on the messages of hope and change from the campaign, S4 targeted the idea that Obama’s presidency is the fruition of a prophecy laid forth by Martin Luther King Jr. I found these photos at the Sole Creations Customsnkr.com blog linked here. Air Force Ones, Custom Sneakers, Nike The interior sides of the Prophecy/Fruition Air Force Ones feature white doves set against red and blue backdrops. The left exterior side shows Martin Luther King giving his famous “I have a dream…” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. The right exterior side shows the word fruition, a sketch of Obama’s face and an American flag to bring us to the present. |

I enjoyed S4’s use of white lettering on the toe boxes set against blue and red to drive home the prophecy/fruition theme. The message of the Prophecy/Fruition Air Force Ones is clear but it has not been implemented widely in the sneaker art world to this point. Aside from the poignancy of these custom AF1s, I loved the various design elements including the doves and the transcribed speeches used to complete S4’s thought. 8vax Pro-Keds Champion High_343March 10th, 2010
