The Kicksperiment

Here's a little taste of how the shoes are coming along. I've mostly been using this first pair as an experiment and just drawing whatever comes to my head, so what you see here, for better or worse, was pretty unplanned. I just grab those Sharpies and go at it, so if you like what you see, let me know and I'll see about popping out a couple more pairs (for a fee). Also, if you know something you'd like me to throw on there rather than just have me go to town, that's totally cool. My only warning is the shoes may take a little time, judging by how these are going and how awkward it is to draw on a shoe.

Taking Things Into My Own Hands

So, after an unfruitful Monday of trying to find a worthy pair of shoes at my local mall, a couple stores, and every online vendor I could find, I was fed up. Everything I found had been done a million times or just wasn't me. I was impressed by some Nike 6.0s I saw in a local Journey's, and always had a sort of secret crush on Onitsukas, but nothing clicked. Then a friend** made me realize, the only way to really get something that's me is to just do it myself. So, in spirit of what we're trying to do here I purchased some waterproof Sharpies and these:
I'm going to be custom designing these things with whatever comes to mind. I was thinking of going with a Sun and Moon kind of design, with one shoe for each side. But the point of this story is that if these shoes turn out aright and you guys like the finished product, I've been considering making custom shoes another service offered by Ursa. Though it might take a little more time to get those out to you since we need to do each by hand, let us know what you think.

UPDATE: After a day of work, here's what I have to show:
