RENDERING: Hoop Dreams Inspired (Bonus Rendering)

[1ofthesedaze]

Hey. I just finished up this little project, and I want to get you guys' opinion on it. I designed these shoes based upon my favorite movie Hoop Dreams.Let me know what you think.
(Pics are big. It looks a little better if you can zoom out to fit everything)

Inspiration Board

Thumbnail sketches

Final Design

What is this? ReebokTalk?



j/k Those are pretty nice. The midsole looks a bit thin compared to the rest of the shoe - and that makes the toebox really low at the front.

I always like that satin jacket Agee was wearing too.

But why does he have a quarter in his ear?

Nice project! You a designer, cause the whole concept seems pretty pro! Great job. I agree with Wallace on the proportions. I like the overall design, maybeintegrate PUMP? Great job!

3-4 of the thumbnail sketch shoes raise an eyebrow more than the final product. i do like the lace loops that are locked in with the upper.. very zoom havenesque

props for the feedback. I took about 150 screenshots from the movie and narrowed them down to make the board. Not a payed designer at the moment, tryin to be.
