VERY nice rendering Arch! I like the mesh for the inner bootie, the asymetric toe, the digital camo, how at the heel, the highest flywire strand bends off to go over the ankle (not sure how functional that is, but it's a sweet detail. Flywire is all in the PU anyways!)
One thing I'm not feeling...
Love these shoes. Had 5 pairs total, went through the all black, white/silver and a white/blue pair. I still have 2 white/oranges. They're easily one of the best basketball shoes I've ever owned. I'd definitely pick up multiple pairs if they re-released. Never was a fan of the Zoom BB series...
The shoe looks much better now that we have more angles. I thought at first that the toe box was plain (like the XVI XIX), but I like it better the way it is. I don't like the outsole

ak47celtics - You're really good, especially considering you being only 14. Do you draw a lot of other stuff not footwear related?
Both shoes remind me of the Wade 2.0, because of the curves and color blocking.

Jkickz - I don't really like the proportions on the last one, but the two colored versions are dope!! Especially the close up one! Great work! Show us more.

I would have prefered the PE version of the Sheath, but the Strength looks great too. I don,t mind the midfoot strap. I have some other shoes with a midfoot strap and I think it really improves the fit. Patent leather toe is better than the suede/nubuck toe imo.

Wanted (10): The Kobe...
Vapors are definitely copped. Transition...maybe if I see the grey/orange colorways
When are we going to see more of JT's stuff?

^ I think it would be a good idea to have a little drc, but no need for an official thread or anything. We could just throw in some sketches, thumbnails or whatever in here. I'll try to sketch a little this week and post something. I'm thinking Shawn Kemp or a shoe for Pip for his comeback...
^ Thanks! glad you liked it. It was a foamposite shoe too :lol but it was for Penny. I think the theme for that DRC was "what if?".

^exactly, It will make your overall drawing much cleaner and crisp too.
Try "ghosting" your line before you draw it. If you don't know, ghosting means to run your pencil/pen over the line you're projecting to draw without actually drawing it. By doing that, it helps you visualize the line so...
Arch: I really like your design. The whole flow of the shoe. I agree with you there seems to be missing just a bit on the upper. The shoe looks fine on the lateral view, but on the perspective view, the shoe does look a little plain (might be because the grey strip seems thinner. Is it there on...
