Complex & Creative Recreation Present: “The Next Sneaker Design Star” Contest

Complex & Creative Recreation Present: “The Next Sneaker Design Star” Contest

Complex Creative Recreation Sneaker Design Contest 01 570x367

How many of you spent your childhood days sketching out sneaker designs in your notebook and mailing them off to your favorite company with fingers crossed? If you fit that description then this one’s for you, a contest put on by the folks over at Complex and Creative Recreation in search of the nation’s brightest design talent in the sneaker game. All the participants have to do is whip up some concept drawings of their own silhouette and send them in, with the Complex team already having whittled the field down to five finalists. Head over there to vote on your favorite design (simply voting can put you through to win free sneakers and swag) after you check out the finalists’ designs after the jump and stick with us to see who gets through and claims the ultimate prize of a design internship with the Creative Recreation team.
