Teen Kelly Court Force Hi

So Nike designed this Court Force Hi with hot pink/safety yellow soles. It has baby blue and more hot pink and safety yellow though out. They topped it off with sea foam laces. The head of Design was about send the design off to a sweatshop supervisor in the Philippines when some mail room guy came in with the executive's new issue of SPIN magazine. The exec ask the young lad if he had any ideas the make the shoes more visible to a velociraptor. The young man suggested making the swoosh gold. The executive promptly fired himself and promoted that young man to vice president of R&D.

P.S. I'm just kidding. I have no knowledge of the inner workings of NIKE, just an active imagination.

NIKE 3m Brick Pack

Nike is coming out with a whole pack of shoes made with 3M material laser etched with reptilian prints.

Nike has pretty much exhausted all of it's options making ugly shoes with colors. Now they are proving they can make grey garish. To Nike ugly isn't a black and white issue. Nike realizes that ugly doesn't lie in subtle shades of grey, but in brazen shades of grey with bold patterns. My favorite touch is the metallic grey smooth pressed with a gator texture contrasting on top of the 3M scotchbrite laser etched with a similar pattern.
