Shoes too got damn busy.

Duke needs to bring in a consultant to streamline these designs.

They look like a Lil girl with a princess fascination made hoop shoes.

Not digging these at all.

I wear tech forward style shoes. I love ispa. Yet these shoes not it like those at all.
Like those Indian shoes only work. For Halloween and I wanted to make a forward style homage.
to cocheese from the movie the warriors.
These shoes lack practicality.

I like the ambition.
The execution to be practical.
is where these fail at in design language.
make a practical model.
Then try some crazy colorways.
Not crazy colorways and crazy design and no practical functionality.

Those native american shoes would only have worked. In the mid eighties before crack and we played cowboys and Indians. Orher than that...those shoes serve no practical purpose and no practical design language.
The shell toe shoe slash mod lifestyle shoe....I was never a shell toe guy. Plus shell toes have no hood permeation and are frowned upon as dated.
since tougher than leather.
Maybe as time goes like d wade. They will figure out.
how to compromise with next gen design and practical functionality.

Not minding the marathon to figure things out. Just offering a critique.
to make it pop.
Wishing kyrie luck tho.

as i like shoe companies who take risk.

The klay Matthew's anta, to cam newton to steph in under armor.
before the lo bowling shoe orthopedic disaster with steph's lifestyle shoe.
to eqlz's.
are all better first to early submissions incomparison.

Eqlz is shytting on the game early.
Wish kyrie had flagship shoe designs like eqlz. I would cop quick then.

Where are these shoes being sold?








I believe cool kicks has direct links too. Gimme aa sec.


For some reason. I had a website link for the anta in cool kick's commerce site. Then lost the copy.
Sheesh......

Threw the shoe review for a kyrie casual model up as a consolation. For anyone looking to look into to something different as a daily practical driver. As kyrie made a practical shoe. I was critical of not being present previously. Just seems the marketing and permeation. To get things just have no real effect.

Actually anta really tries.

They really do.
Kyrie need to get behind a dribble drive above the rim guy.
as his next endorsee after his pops. To hopefully get Some mainstream gateway pop to his line.
