Footwear Designer Edmundo Castillo: TRON inspired

Tron’ inspired light-up shoes by Edmundo Castillo



Footwear designer Edmundo Castillo has produced a pair of LED light-up sandals to pay homage to the latest Hollywood blockbuster “Tron: The Legacy”. Made from the same electroluminescent material used for the costumes in the film, the “Light Sandals” will be sold at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,650 from February 1. The Puerto Rican designer is a footwear industry veteran and formerly worked for the venerable Italian brand Sergio Rossi.

Other similar mentions: Tron Legacy” has also inspired a suite in the Ice Hotel in the Swedish town of Jukkasjärvi that is outfitted with futuristic, glow-in-the-dark neon decor. Eyewear company Oakley also produced special 3D glasses to celebrate the release of the film. Rendered with signature Oakley style, the new “Tron” Limited Edition 3D Gascan ($150) is accented with graphics that salute the cinematic story.

Air Jordan Spiz’ike - “Grape” | Detailed Images

Via: dunk.com



The Air Jordan 5 (V) “Grape” colorway was one of the original four colorways of the famed model originally released in 1990. When the retro was released in 2006 at select accounts, it was mayhem in some locations. Spike Lee was rocking this model courtside at the Garden, and it will now be available in April. The hybrid Spiz’ike model will don the “grape” colorway and it carries with it the embroidered “23″ on the heel. On this model, elephant print is on the heel and toe, patent appears on the underlay, and a newly-employed material–perforated leather–adorns the upper. Grape appears on the lacelocks and outsole. This may not capture the original essence of the Air Jordan V (5) that is now 20 years old, but it is an interesting take on the Spiz’ike.

Having previously worked with Comme des Garcons and Opening Ceremony, Brett Westfall’s art focused label Unholy Matrimony has collaborated with sneaker brand Feiyue on a wearable, custom shoe design. Made up of an all-black canvas upper, and mostly tonal details, the sneaker is subtly embellished with Unholy Matrimony’s pink mushroom logo. These lightweight, comfortable shoes are scheduled to hit retail in the Spring/Summer of 2010.

For those of you unfamiliar with Feiyue, the brand first appeared in the 1920s in Shanghai where it was worn by people of all classes. In 2006, the label was picked up by a team of French footwear enthusiasts who have blended their Western and international influences to create an open, diverse style. Feiyue literally means “Flying Forward.”
