Hey! Welcome to the Sneaker Art Forum!
These remind me of the Sharkleys, your proportions could use some help, you could try to post in the open sketchthread,
There are real nice shoe designers there, they can help you out.

mrgrapes85: Post in the open sketch thread..it needs new life and there are a handful of people in there who will give good advice.
In my opinion, there are some basic things to iron out which will make your designs much better. Namely, proportions. On your shoe, there is not much of amidsole if any at all, giving it the look of a sock. Now, that can be okay, (for example the first zoom bb was double-lasted--i think--and had no visiblemidsole either), but your arch height is a bit drastic and it gives the impression of being a sock because it looks somewhat like a natural foot.
Here's the solution. Put a template underneath your paper (like this one) and you will instantly be able to draw with correct proportions.
No, it's not cheating. It makes for much better looking work.
I'd like to see what else you've done, and I'm sure there are others who can provide better advice than me.
Jamergrady: nobody needs your negativity. Keep your criticism constructive. There are plenty of things people could say negatively about anyone's work,including your "templates". Don't hate, especially if you've got nothing to back it up with. If you've got better designs, we'd liketo see those. In any case, this forum is meant in part for improvement, so let's help people improve.
