pThis month, we’re celebrating shoe designers all over the world with our latest a href=”http://boards.core77.com/viewtopic.php?f=35t=22194p=154883#p154883″1 Hour Design Challenge: Play-Doh Kicks/a. To get you loosened up for fall, when we all go into overdrive again, this one’s fun, casual and three-dimensional. Your task is to recreate or reinterpret your favorite pair of shoes in play-doh, in one hour or less./p

pCut loose and give your imagination a stretch. Maybe you’ll create a miniature tribute to your favorite sneaker designer of all time. Or, honor your humble, beat up kicks by sculpting their likeness, busted soles and all. /p

pTo help us pick the best entries, we’ve enlisted a href=”http://www.sneakerfreaker.com/”Sneaker Freaker/a, the only magazine to document the international footwear craze, and a href=”http://www.kueng-caputo.ch/”Kueng Caputo/a, the Switzerland based designers behind the emCopy/em series of design workshops. Woody, Sneaker Freaker’s founder and editor, has generously offered the winner a lifetime subscription plus publication in the magazine’s December issue. Kueng Caputo are throwing in their book emCopy/em, a compilation of results from the workshop. And, finally, we’ll be throwing in gift certificates to a href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/news/announcing_the_core77_flagship_retail_store_in_portland_oregon_17072.asp”Hand Eye Supply/a, our new store for designers and makers.br /
