Topic: Final Nike Zoom Carapace concept with boards

[Josh Boggs]

Those things are sweet as hellllllll. Sexy, too.

Looks great. Just one thing: the split seems like its a little too close to the center.  My big toe isnt that big, and my other toes arent small enough or pinched enough to fit. Other than that, ingenious!!!

Those shoes sound like just what I need. If they were in the store, I'd buy the hell out of them. Lightweight, flexible, great for training, durable, all that AND they're just about the suavest looking shoes I've ever seen.

I'm liking the concept for the straps instead of the laces. My laces come untied all the time and I've stepped on them at the most inconvenient times... The whole wiening thing seems like a good idea as well. Definitely like the last two color schemes with the red and black/white and green. I can't think of anything I'd want to change except that it might need a soft tongue so that the straps don't irritate the front of the ankle.

Over all, excellent design, and keep up the great work.

Those are sweet!  But I still think there should be a non-lace version.

I did the testing for these shoes.... and im still waiting to see what the hell is happening with them. it's been well over a year and half now

Here's a new version. I adjusted the collar and made it non-split toe (for those on the other side of the fence..so to speak). It has more of an ankle cut lycra sock and articulated toe bumper for flexibility.

I LOVE It it looks so flexable/cool comfortableLike some thing out of a game but your idea is awsome and orginal.when you do get them out what sizes im a 6/2.will they have good grip what materials will the ybe made of.Sorry for sounding like a girl at a concert but you just gave me something to look foward to.

Well considering it's been 2 years since i tested i wouldn't get your hopes up haha

I like that new design too - the regular toe design will probably be best for someone who wants to keep the shoe feeling more like what they're used to.

if these ever make it to production, it would be cool to see both (you were talking about different versions for different "levels" of traceurs, well this could be part of it - beginners want to keep it simple, close to what they've gotten used to, while more advanced traceurs want to the best performance possible)

once again, good job.

I dont know some people ight want they split toe just  for the fact of it felling more barefoot then shoe and they benifits that come along with it

[Charles Yibokou]

these look familier didn't someone already have these desiegns amd said nike wouldn't make them becouse they would be to expensive

[BearMills]

I just talked with him. The Deal was blown off. So no these will not be made

[Jacob Carter]

Well that sucks!! I was looking forward to these forever. That just kind of killed my day...

[BearMills]

u bummed out? I did all some testing for the shoe itself haha

[Jacob Carter]

Maybe there is some other way to get the shoe into production. Has he talked to other companies?

[BearMills]

kinda long gone there are other shoes in production with the same style

[Jacob Carter]

Really? I haven't seen one. Could you provide links please?

[kalinflip]

um um those shoes make my pantss tight
