this is my first major shoe project so i decided to do one for kobe. main feature of the shoe is the toe, which is scored to extend the flexibility up from thesole. im gonna add a couple more views soon...

thats a sprained ankle waiting to happen

lower the toebox so it doesn't look like running shoe
and toebox looks kinda bulky

its good for your first major project

just my 2 cents...

yea that is a sprained ankle waiting to happen but i like the shoe
i think you should close the open part and lower the toebox but other
than that looks good

Good idea and I like it...as a training shoe or something.
Your toebox is quite a bit too tall. And kobe would be done with that little ankle support. Notice his shoes have gotten higher cut as his career hasprogressed..
Is there a story behind it? Inspiration?

Keep it up man; follow your lead.

Couple of crits. First off nice stuff. Good ideas, but it needs a ton of work. I'd redesign the shapeo f that opening right there, it gives me the feelinthat the foot can fall out it seems so misplaced. And yeah it does look like an ankle sprain in process. The shape needs a bit fo work, the toebox needs to befixed up a bit, cause its too tall and bulky. Another thing, I guess you did that with PS? Post some sketches, maybe marker renderings , those are the basics,you need to get the hang of those after that you can procedd onto PS. The first renderin is really cool, love that, how you built 5 into one. Great commercialidea!
