i made some shoes for converse!
 

I got to design some shoes for the Converse 1HUND(RED) project. Converse commissioned 100 musicians, graphic and graffiti artists from all over the world to create one-of-a-kind sneaker designs inspired by the global fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. I worked on them quite some time ago but they finally sent me samples! Check 'em out!

Hypebeast also featured them and they posted a bit of my explanation about the design:

let me know what you guys think!

well... definately not my taste, but very adventurous for whoever decides to put them on.

Pretty cool you got to design some shoes though.

not my taste either, but i respect your accomplishment

congrats

wow those look awesome!

Hey that's a really cool design! Congrats! :)

Where and how can I get myself a pair of these?

woo they look like something I would cop, and I don't even wear Converses lol

wow

i see potential heat

I like.

dreamlesser/o8er/YHer/B3Ser/otherer?

those are dope

Those are realllly nice!
I'd definately be interested in picking up a pair

straight outta the simpsons! (the art reminds me of it not saying the design is from there)

congrats!

They're different but I like them, nice work and congrats!

Looks great! I love the idea of the hands reaching out to help.

Congrats!

soo how much was ur payday

now to be sold at livestock for 500 dollars!

inspired by the global fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.


Stopping AIDS in Africa is like trying to bail out the Titanic with a sippy cup

Lol, converses don't cost that much, unless they are limited as fuck. Plus, the sales are going to contribute to helping to stop aids/hiv in africa? They probably want a lot of people to rock these.

dam those are cool nice work man

Support (RED)!!!!!

Nice design. I like the concept.

love the design :) congratz!

Your shoe kicks ass! Keep working at it!

congrats!!

Looks really cool. Good job!

cheers everyone - yea the project is for the Red Campaign so proceeds go to that charity - all the artists did the shoes for free so we're not making any money from sales - if you're looking for some converse grab a pair from the 1HUND(RED) series (not necessarily mine) and support the fight against aids in africa!

i appreciate the kind words!
