Shoe Designs

[D.Choe]

I was walking around the mall looking for a birthday present for my friend then something caught my eye.

I passed by Payless Shoes and saw some plain white shoes and said to myself, "hmmm I wonder what I could do with those"

Anyway I snagged a pair for $20 and was thinking what to do with them.

After a couple of hours I thought of something simple yet intriguing. I had a wallpaper of the rising sun and it looked badass as hell so it was kind of an inspiration for the design.

I got to work on the shoes and I like what I did so far. Obviously they're not some baller ass shoes cause they're not finished yet but wanted some feedback on what else I should do like add kanji, other japanese stuff, etc.

I was thinking about putting Ni-hon in kanji on the tongue somewhere in the middle but I haven't decided if that'll look good or not.

Also I'm going to put a red sun on the back and plan on filling in the very top part of the shoe red.

Later on I want to get some sneakers and do some tagwork on it, but for now I just wanted to see how I would do with a simple design. Any other thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, negative or positive.

Thanks in advance
