I used the picture of the Porsche because I like cars and this sketch is almost Foose level. A few months back, I was preparing to order a pair of the Molino sneakers (above) from COMUNITYmade. I didn’t want the colors available. Those styles are dope, but I wanted to create a custom. Understanding how CM works with their customers, and realizing I didn’t have the time to sit down and sketch anything myself, I reached out to a designer who reached out to me. Greg Macy is dope. He was in the process of building his own sneaker line. We spoke and I knew he could help me with my new custom sneaker, but I also understood he didn’t have a lot of time. His portfolio link is above. The guy works constantly and I didn’t want to ask him to do something for me free of charge, so I used our networking to connect him to CM. I figured if I could assist him in possibly getting a freelance gig, I could kill two targets with one stone. Man did he help me hit the target. He created a pitch for COMUNITYmade. He developed three colorways for a custom Molino. He forwarded them to me, I sent them to the Product Manager at CM. I haven’t a made a decision because I just realized that he sent more than three. Each theme features a variation; so I need your help. I’m going to get this Molino made, but I need some feedback.
- Which of the colors do you think I should submit for the custom?
- I am considering paying for a Limited Edition run of this color. Would you want to buy a pair?
- The options below are: Summer in Provence, Torres Novas and Poppy Seed
