The Project Bluefoot Intelligent Design competition has brought together some of the world’s best undiscovered amateur sneaker designers. Entrants in the contest were invited to design a concept for the upcoming Air Jordan XXV and were asked to show their inspiration, sketches and the final product to be judged by a panel of judges, including Jordan Brand’s own Jason Mayden and D’Wayne Edwards. Fifteen finalists have been selected so far, so keep reading after the jump to take a look at the finished version of each of the final 15 designs. For more on the competition, as well as pics of the sketches and inspiration from each finalist, you can get over to ProjectBluefoot and spend some time taking a closer look at the finer points of this intriguing design contest.

August 26th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
The shoe design by Frederic Roy looks like it would be a good design for a Dwayne Wade signiture Jordan shoe
August 26th, 2009 at 10:01 pm

August 26th, 2009 at 10:08 pm

August 26th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Only 1 or 2 have potential to me.
Alot of them look like Team Jordans or AND1s.
August 26th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
the first ones are hot
August 26th, 2009 at 10:29 pm

August 26th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Also John Lee
August 26th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
all these shits look like space kicks.
August 26th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
I like the second one and I agree they look d-wade-ish.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
The first one’s are clean as helllll!!!! The one’s that look like the 2k9′s are ugly as helllll!!!!
August 26th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
HONESTLY THERE GOOD BUT NOT JORDAN BRAND GOOD IF YOUR TAKIN IT TO THE FUTURE IUNNO CUZ I DONN’T LIKE FUTURISTIC SHOES I LIKE OL SKOOL MIX WIT NEW
August 26th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
for some strange reasons i like the Joe Sattler joints. if it had a reg sole id be hype about em
August 26th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
^^^well considering the 2k9′s, it all looks futuristic from now on. as long as jordan brand dont have tinker, then yerh we’re prob wont see the classics again…
anyway yerh i agree that 1st one is tough. i like the 3rd last one of Weixian Wang. reminds me of the 22′s.
August 26th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
The 1st ones are nice…the rest look like converse and reeboks
August 27th, 2009 at 12:11 am
Did I miss something. I thought the Air Jordan 2009 wasn’t the Jordan 24. JB made a point of saying it wasn’t the AJ24. Now they are making a AJ25? How does that work? Man I’m sooo tired of JB its ridiculous. The 1st one is the least WACK!
August 27th, 2009 at 12:21 am
^ Don’t mean to be an ass but perhaps what you ‘missed’ is the title and the first sentence.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:30 am
Doug Vandervalk’s design is fucking freshhhhhhhhhhhhh!
John Lee’s one’s nice too!
August 27th, 2009 at 1:39 am
1 was good rest look loike and 1
August 27th, 2009 at 1:56 am
Wat The FucK is This Shit U gotta B Kidin me.. None Of These R Worthy 2 Become A Numer!!!
They Fucked Up With The 23 && 2k9′s They Could atleast make sumthing worth the wait…..
P.S Why The Fuck Do These Look Like Robo Cop Should B Wear Them…
FuCk Yuh JORDAN BRAND JUSS RELEASE THE RETRO’S
August 27th, 2009 at 2:16 am
In The Order Of 1 and 2…..
August 27th, 2009 at 2:39 am
3/4 of these look too futuristic. Jordan will never ever become this fancy bright color stuff so dont bother trying. The 1st shoes or the Frederic Roys are the only ones that deserve to be looked at.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:04 am
MAN THAT 1ST SHOE IS THE BEST 1 MAYBE THATS WHY THEY HAVE IT FIRST ON THE PAGE…..GIVE THAT MAN A JOB JORDAN BRAND I WOULD COP THOSE 4SHO!
August 27th, 2009 at 3:06 am
i see jordan brand has taken their designs to a more modern style
a good move; maybe not for retro lovers however
the first one is the only one distinctive to my taste
August 27th, 2009 at 3:26 am
Doug Vandervalks all the way! Now they’re fucking ‘Space Jam’!
August 27th, 2009 at 8:16 am
Tom Matic. Repecta!
August 27th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Knowing that the JB designers have no taste I want to see the ones they rejected. I bet those are the good ones. As far as these goes I cosign with OGJayB the first are the least wack.
August 27th, 2009 at 9:27 am
1st and last are clean
August 27th, 2009 at 9:31 am
betcah theyre costy
August 27th, 2009 at 10:11 am
this is a perfect example why people need to take it back to the 70′s and 80′s, when you actually put a pencil to paper… sneakers made on computers are wack!!!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 10:33 am
alot of nice designs the 25 look to be promising
August 27th, 2009 at 10:37 am
im feeling doug vandervalk’s
August 27th, 2009 at 10:38 am
ben adams kean looks the best but there all pretty ugly
August 27th, 2009 at 10:48 am
anybody know what software was used to create these renderings?…
August 27th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Just like the last one by Brian Moughty, MINUS the camo like design…but these are nice…everything else and i mean EVERYTHING ELSE! looks like a Jordan already made…or a Converse(Wade’s) not impress with anything else…Brian Moughty i dont know you but you have my vote homie…the 1st one looks like a combination of the Hypermax meets Lebron’s newest shoe…NOTHING ORIGINAL there…
August 27th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Lee’s design looks eerily similar to LBJ VIIs imho.
August 27th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Most of us agree that the first ones is whats poppin so JB make it happen!
August 27th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Lets go play basketball on the moon baby!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
the designs by John Lee & Alvin Huang are the best looking imo
August 27th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
The first one is ill…not sick…the others look like copies from other brands the only other one that comes close is the one that look like the yeezys with the extra ankle…maybe the other designs could be team shoes….
August 27th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
first one wins
August 27th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
the joints wit da player exclusives are sweet
August 27th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
The only ones I would even consider are Joe Sattler’s. Everything else is garbage.
August 27th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
I like shoes 1 and 4. All the others are sum straight bullshit. Mane they really need to stop
August 27th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
the 1st and last ones could really be nice, but most of these are too similar to styles that are already out
August 27th, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Sam Bowie endorses the first design.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
I mean there really is alot of nice work here, just hire everyone of them JB. some are not good enough to be called the 25 but they sure could be a team jordan. I swear there is only two i dont like and the fourth ones get my vote.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
53!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Those are some amazing designs. Every one of those artists did an excellent job.
August 27th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Doug Vandervalk and John Lee
August 27th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I like the first and the 7th…. the rest are sorta funky… like ET should be rocking them… especially the 4th from last.
August 27th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
guys…….basketball shoe is not all about look, altho it’s important, but function, concepts are also key for a product, I would suggest you guys to click the link, and learn more about the designs, instead of judging them by 1st look.
Maybe some of you like the 1st one, but imagine it on your foot, it looks stiff and I don’t like that heel shape.
August 28th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Too true scorpioanonymous—–its a performance shoe. i like the inspirations shown through the final design and technology on some shoes found the on project bluefoot page. Im liking Tom Matic’s & Sindri P. Sigurdsson’s . Im voting for you dudes
August 28th, 2009 at 11:48 am
You computer geeks out there know nothen about kicks so stop showing your ignorance. On to my point I haven’t been as excited to see a fresh design like the first one in two years. Jordan brand get your head out the sand and write john lee a check. i would cop two pairs of these if they dropped this saturday
August 28th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
for the dumb ass who said u tired of the futuristic crap and want somethin original.. all of these were original ……well impressed one of these designers should b hired!! i only seen a few i didnt like. the best ones are john lees,yurri mials,alvin huangs,and dougs,… and yeah
August 28th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
im not 2 thrilled bout any of them 4 real
August 29th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Man, all are wack!! I see on nicekicks, the honorable mentions look pretty good! but here, I just wanna know why they selected’em…Ben Adams design is not an air jordan for me, don’t talk about Austin Jamacan..his design..man..it’s wack!! just wait and see why they choose’em among the others..I’m not a designer but, I know when I see a shit in my face…so, maybe they are friends..
January 6th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
The Lee’s are nice but something about them look too much like a team Jordan. The Huang’s are different than all the other J’s, but they still have that Jordan look where there are no other shoes on the market like them. The Doug Vandervalk’s are SICK!!! I wouldn’t wear those just to rock, but as a basketball shoe they look amazing! It’s like having a built in Ankle Brace!! Definitely would cop the Vandervalk’s and the Huang’s!!
January 6th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
The Roy’s are nice too but they look way to much like the Converse Wade’s.
