Steve Madden’s SOLE SEARCH
Posted on November 13th, 2009 by r5bales under General, Steve Madden Shoes, ZapposI was reading some financial reports and came across an article that describes a shoe design contest SOLE SEARCH sponsored by Zappos, Steven Madden and Brickfish. Since I am a techno-dork I don’t understand Brickfish, but I do understand Zappos and Steven Madden.
You are able to create a shoe from a template in the program, or upload a design of your own making. Three lucky consumers, one selected from each of the entering categories, will be given the opportunity to pitch his or her shoe design to Steve Madden in NYC. Steve Madden will then select one of the three designs to be produced and sold online at Zappos.com/Steve-Madden. The contest ends December 29. Some of the entries so far:
The next one is by far my favorite. Very clever.
Hurry to the site and show us your dream shoe.

Oh wow, a chance to design my own shoes! I think I found some great ideas over on Shop.com of what my shoe would look like:

I must have spent 3 hours playing with the templates and patterns. It is almost as fun as Barbie Fashion Show.

Hey, I made one

It would have been easier if I had any idea of how to use photoshop before downloading the templates, but overall at least it was something to do until the cable guy arrived & fixed my internet connection.
