FRAME shoes | 22 august 2010


Some objects have its decoration so overwhelming that you cannot really see the important part. I call it - a "golden frame" rule. The truth is most of the time there isn't that much to look at so the "screaming" packaging attracts attention to the object, product or even a person which otherwise would be unnoticed. It's a cheap trick...

During my career I've visited few places that changed the way I look at running shoes and work on them. Runners Service Lab is definitely at the top of this list. It is runners specialty store in BEVEREN (Belgium) but... a very unique one.

Giuseppe Zanotti for VIONNET shoes | 29 june 2010


I cam across this Zanotti shoe today. He designed small shoe collection for Vionnet. This one I particularly like because it's exactly how bartie women's shoe would look like - classic in proportions but "designy" in terms of colors or details.
adidas SPIDER / middle distance spike footwear design | 24 june 2010
bartie design adidas SPIDER MD spike

SPIDER is filling up the MD gap in adidas entry T&F range. I designed this model last year, the process was quite exciting since Spider's direction changed few times.
Spikes are the most challenging but the same time rewarding type of shoes to design. I love to work on T&F because every piece has to be functional. And to see athletes wearing them always makes me happy and sometimes... maybe even proud a bit.

F50 - this shoe is iconic footwear design | 12 june 2010



I was watching Argentina - Nigeria game today. Messi wasn't lucky with scoring but the shoe he was wearing is revolutionary. From time to time I'm jealous of someone else's work and here I definitely am. Good job Jay.

It's super lightweight, it's innovative and it's beautiful.

Small note to the video... No way they last the forefoot of every shoe by hand!
Who likes MOTION CONTROL shoes? running | 10 june 2010


I actually wanted to put different title - "Who killed Motion Control shoe?" because they are almost gone from the market. The only place you can buy them is running specialty store. No one else wants to sell it. But why?

GOOD DESIGN just design | 15 may 2010


Producers need designers for only one reason - to create products that sell better. Sometimes but not often they want to make a statement (to sell better afterwards). Then they let the designer come up with something unique and remarkable.

But why not making all the products outstanding?
