PAGE 16 \\ ABOUT THIS PROJECT
BURNSIDE SKATE SHOE This project started in June of 2012 when I applied for the Pensole Academy Future of Footwear competition. From a field of 1,000’s of applicants from around the world I was selected as 1 of the 20 finalists flown out to Portland, OR for a month long competition. I was 1 of 4 competing in the “Skateboarding” category, and after the month of competition my design was selected in the top 10 of 20 by a panel of Nike and Jordan Brand designers as well as the chief editor of Sole Collector magazine. As a top 10 finisher I won an all expenses paid (by Zappos) trip to Las Vegas to present my design at the FN Platform at the Fall 2012 MAGIC Expo.
The Future of Footwear competition was sponsored by Pensole Academy, Mesh01.com, FN Platform and Zappos.
