    These look really nice. Although I must admit I find them explicitly reminiscent of elements I've seen before, they are all combined in a very tasteful way. Do you sell these?

          these are really nice.like the tongue part a lot.
          and the colorway, at least in the pics
          the only thing i personally think could be improved is
          the lace hole. or maybe a close up pic can prove
          i'm wrong

            You should try Designers and their works, rather than Student/D.I.Y. as.
            I think you surpass most D.I.Y'ers; nice collection.

            She looked at me, pointed at the string of the back of my BBS jacket and said: You had the same string on the shirt you wore last time. If I'm not mistaken that's a part of a hearing aid. You have a hearing impairment, right?

              Hi Brad,

              Thanks for your comments. Glad you like the tongue, i was interested to know what people would think about that as it's so large and fat, unlike any others i've in seen. I understand what you mean, on the suede pair they are different.
              We spent 7 hours working on them to change the look and color.
              Do you think they would look better on the black trainers? Of course i can change the color to any.

                  These are wonderful.

                  As for what Michael could be referring to.... I see these as a blend (albeit a very nicely done blend) of Rick, Ann, and Augusta.

                  that being said, I do very much like them.

                      Hi Magic,

                      Thanks :) Rick and Simon along with Boris had a big part to play with what i was wanting to achieve from the design, look and feel.

                        Hi Crowzer,

                        Thanks for your comment. I'm going to be playing around with texture next. Starting with fish skins. So will be posting them once finished

                            I am in love with the quality of this, at least what i can see from the pictures they look very well made
                            however I dislike the fact they look so similar to the Augusta sneakers
                            since you are New to this venture i will give you a pass as i believe at this point perfecting the quality of your work is more important than anything else............however i would really like to see more of you in the work, more of your personality, don't be afraid to express your ideas man, give yourself creative expression without limitations and doubt and it will be good for you


                            keep up the good work!

                              I like them, especially the black hightops. Could use a pair myself, actually: how much will those be selling for?
