Dr. Martens wants you to design their boots. Someone here win this, k'?
Oh, this looks like fun. I'm definitely going to make one. At least one.

I made one. I couldn't figure out how to find the "I'm Finished" button without pressing "Undo", so I had to do something to my boot that I didn't want so I could undo it and then press "I'm Finished".

Hey, i didn't put that tape there.

It ate my shoe! i really liked it but didn't get a picture, and then shuffled me off and i don't know how to find it.
i called it "octogen" and it's a short boot with a grey toe, a black body and a bloody maroon splat of octopus over a large star stencil on the front upper and a small pale blue star by the ankle front.
i can't find it, it says i don't exist and apparently people vote.
Some look pretty hippie to me.

Sigh. I miss the real Dr. Martens.

Click on it twice to get it to select "type here".

Thanks, eth... apparently some of the fonts just don't work (on my machine, at least).

I didn't realize they posted right away! They just don't show up in the gallery until they've looked at 'em, I guess. Here are mine (shown above)... vote early and vote often! (Only if you like 'em, of course.)

first one
second one
third one

Oh, that rocks.

Really? i think i like it. i think i want votes.
My description says "neutral yet bold, looks like both a bloody splat and is discreetly optimistic."
posted by ethylene 01 May | 18:28
oooh, eth - link us to the voting button for that one, eh?
posted by lonefrontranger 01 May | 18:36
It's called octogen. i just did an octogone.
posted by ethylene 01 May | 18:47
People need to go hate on some shoes.
posted by ethylene 01 May | 18:49
I voted for it, eth!

OK, my last one:

That's cool, deborah!

Thanks, BP! That's a Liberty of London fabric. I think they should go into partnership and produce my shoe!

You can vote every twenty four hours.
Some truly bad designs are getting ranked high and it's just wrong. Not that any of mine are that great, i just suddenly feel torn between competitive and pimpy.

Yeah, the top ten designs are pretty dire. I do like the one with the high heels on the side, though... that one's excellent.

Baby monkey! OMG! || I'd like to believe, but...
