All Tied Up V.2

designed by Motaro

Contest 4

All Tied Up is a shoe that brings the wearer back to a simpler time. A time when disco was not dead, the moustache was a sacred cultural object, and a man's neck tie was as much a part of him as his soul. This is my 2nd version of the design and I like it much more than the first.

  6. Thanks for the postive feedback. I'll repost the way I made this design from the previous version of the shoe. I made this shoe by actually gathering up my fathers old ties from the 70's and 80's and then laying them in a pattern. I Then photographed each section of the 20 some odd ties and did some tweaking in photoshop, eventually coming up with this.

  8. Great idea! My favorite parts are the insides, bottoms and back panel. Would love to see a design working with those patterns sometime.

  15. Thanks for all the comments! Every time I read one of your comments I go outside and smell daisy's and pet bunny's and feed deer and throw sprinkles on rainbows. It really brightens my day.

  17. Oh have they?! I didn't realize there were converse shoes made of retro ties already out there. Gee whiz, you obviously know alot about sneakers, I'm so glad my page was blessed with your educated and thoughtful comment.
