So, last week we were sent a pair of basket ball shoes that we designed for Kipsta, a subsidiary brand of Decathlon, France. These little puppies were designed a little over a year ago and were launched in July/ August 2008. The design is meant to suggest big support with the color block fully encasing the heel, mid foot and shank. We were trying to make the shoe look and feel 'fitted'. I think we accomplished that look, especially with the sculpted herringbone coming up through the shank and the color block continuing all the way around the upper.Check out this video featuring the Kipsta Konnect baslketball shoe.

You can see sketches and development work for this project on our main website, here is the direct link: http://www.middlecott.com/design/product/footwear/decathlon/kipstakonect/
