The cut off date for participation is the 10th of June. All of the entries will then be judged by a panel of heavyweights in the sneaker game such as Jeff Staple and Sarah from Colette.

The prize is more than worth the hours spent creating the kicks. Winners will be taken to Flimby Factory in the UK where they will observe the creation of their design and then be the first to try them on!

Six Hundred pairs of each winning sneaker will be produced and then will be distributed to select sneaker shops.
