This is a sneaker concept video I made for a sneaker collaboration with @adidas and @NintendoAmerica and Y-3. Itโs Legend of Zelda themed Sneakers.
The box design was inspired by @RonnieFieg and what he did with the XMEN Kith Asics project.
Our last release of the yearโฆKith for Salomon 2024. These silhouettes are very special to me, as the Salomon team trusted myself and the team with brand new silhouette designs using the incredible XT4 tooling. The XT-4K features a monkey boot lace structure and a TPU design to subtly highlight the brand on its lateral side. The Voyagerโs upper is inspired by a vintage pair of Salomon adventure 7 boots which are super iconic to the hiking enthusiasts. These felt like the only way to close out our Monday Programโข for 2024.
Last year, the team and I traveled to Milan to present our concept for a collection with Giorgio Armani. Rather than a presentation or a deck, I worked with my team to write a book. I sat down with Mr. Armani and his team to share our vision and hear their thoughts. I always knew that I wanted this collection to revolve around suiting, as there is nothing more iconic than a Giorgio Armani suit. I also wanted to pay homage and respect to Mr. Armaniโs career and life by representing the men who I feel he has inspired the most.
Sitting down with the Giorgio Armani team for a week in their offices, stores, design rooms, and museum to hear their perspective on suiting, the men that wear them, and vision for storytelling was an incredible experience. Together, we shaped the foundation of our collection, which is titled: The Archetype.
For our collection, we created four Archetypes. Four identities of men from different walks of life who share the universal language of wearing a Giorgio Armani suit. In the book I wrote a character story for each one, including what they wear, where they live, their favorite foods, their hobbies, everything. We used these stories to design a suit and capsule for each Archetype, which include: The Artist, The Entertainer, The Traveler, and The Entrepreneur.
Together, we applied the concept of The Archetype to the entire collectionโfrom the product to the campaigns to the experiences. In the coming days we will share all of these Archetype stories with you. This one is special, and I canโt wait for you to see this amazing project finally come to fruition.
@SMEBmusic Lmaooo that clip is from when the mayor announced NYC had spent 6M on a consulting firm to decide what to do with trash in the city. He announced garbage cans and rolled out like Steve jobs announcing the iPhone ๐คฃ๐คฃ

They said it wouldn't work. They said it was a dumb idea. Reinterpret Spider-Man for a new generation. Then they read 'Ultimate Spider-Man' #1 and happily shut their traps.
