| 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!     
Some more info at my new site Booooooom.com: http://www.booooooom.com/2008/07/11/...erse-1hundred/
Hypebeast also featured them and they posted a bit of my explanation about the design: http://hypebeast.com/2008/07/jeff-ha...-chuck-taylor/
let me know what you guys think!

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

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!
