Dave White has made an internationally recognized name with his sneaker art for his signature side-profile, paint-splattered imagery. Do we have another Dave White on our hands? Sneaker News just stumbled upon Kick Draw, a tumblr account featuring new drawings of some of the most historic sneakers of all time. The left-shoe profile shots are done in photo-realistic cartoon-ish styles, with solid-colored backgrounds providing a nice contrast. It appears that the author/illustrator updates with ‘trending’ sneakers, as he’s recently updated with the Jordan CP3.V (releasing next week), the Nike Zoom KD IV (released early December), and the adidas adiPower Howard (released November). Of course, he’s got a ton of other great stuff – Air Jordans, Air Yeezys, Reeboks, etc. – so take a look at some of the highlights below and check out Kick Draw now!

So this guy just traced shoes in illustrator? That's not necessarily impressive.

December 31st, 2011 at 9:37 pm

December 31st, 2011 at 9:59 pm

You're so talented that you didn't think or do it first…
January 1st, 2012 at 3:18 am
to people that think this is easy and not impressive, you couldn't come up with them while he could. So shut your bitter mouths and appreciate the art.
January 1st, 2012 at 12:39 pm
SSurprised I didn't see foams in his art…
January 1st, 2012 at 12:47 pm

January 1st, 2012 at 1:10 pm

January 1st, 2012 at 4:58 pm

January 1st, 2012 at 5:59 pm

January 1st, 2012 at 6:04 pm
There's a reason SN featured this guys illustrations and not yours. Yours are wack.
January 1st, 2012 at 6:05 pm
wack imitation
January 1st, 2012 at 10:10 pm

January 1st, 2012 at 10:36 pm

January 2nd, 2012 at 1:43 am
you just quoted drake….GTFOH
January 2nd, 2012 at 5:50 pm
nice work keep it up. Art is subjective, keep bangin em out and eventually "it" will find you.
January 3rd, 2012 at 4:12 am
Respect
January 4th, 2012 at 9:49 am
he probably wanted it to look like they were yellowing .. like they old releases .
January 6th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Exactly. Your gradients are wack bro.
January 6th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
WTF did he trace? Its an artistic illustration of a shoe. Your illustrations are exact tracing of existing shoes. And crappy tracing as well
January 7th, 2012 at 11:33 pm
I did something similar. Thanks for the inspiration though. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/51633839/lebron9WALLPAPER…

Yet somehow his work is much more interesting than yours. Think about why and maybe you'll become a better designer.
