#WAUBSCURE
WE ARE UNDERDOGS AND OBSCURE SNEAKERS
--------
TEAMED UP FOR YET ANOTHER ONE OF A KIND CONCEPT
We want to launch the best retro inspired low top sneaker in 2019.
And we are looking for the best designer to do that!
This is how it’ll work
We will provide you with outsole (a beautiful extra light EVA tooling from ITAFLEX Portugal) to work with. The tricky part is to find which upper the designers will submit that complements the outsole the best. You NEED to create the best upper to work harmoniously with the outsole. There are no rules for the kind of design you can submit. But, be smart, think as a consumer and as a revolutionary designer.
Take also in consideration the spirit of the both names involved - WAU and OBSCURE - finding the best way to blend those in a concept.
This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity to make your own design a reality. This will be a highlight in your career as a designer and an artist as a whole. Be smart, be witty, design with good taste and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
The contest is open to everyone, except the 11 designers that are already part of the WAU family.
Way to submit your art work
Step 1
Tag your design with hashtag #waubscure and tag both @wau.wereunderdogsand @obscuresneakers. You will be allowed only ONE accepted submission per person(account). Choose wisely, once it's up and considered for voting, you can’t resend another one. You can however refine your design for the following phase.
Step 2
Wait, there is no step 2... it's that easy! So, be a part of this amazing project! Let's get it done!
*When the designs are submitted the rights to produce that design are automatically granted to WAU and OBSCURE SNEAKERS.
The top 8 will be chosen by popular voting on Instagram.
The votes will be counted on the contestant’s post, by the number of comments tagging @wau.weareunderdogs and @obscuresneakers
The winner will be chosen by the following formula: 1/3 popular votes 1/3 WAU 1/3 Obscure
The winner will have his design produced with his name present in a label (to be defined)
The winner will also get 2 pairs of the sneakers, a voucher for 150USD at WAU and 150USD at OBSCURE SNEAKERS
This will be a very unique competition for the sneaker industry. We are giving you the power to take your dreams to a whole different level. Your sneaker will be hand crafted by some of the best craftsmen in the industry with premium top notch materials. Take this very seriously!
Take this opportunity, grab it by the horn and RUN AWAY WITH IT!
