The Good – Austin Jermacan’s winning Melo design
As part of the Future Sole 2009 Competition, 17-year old aspiring designer Austin Jermacan designed this Jordan Melo M6 concept.

In addition, Carmelo stated that the Clae sneakers were some of his favorite. Therefore, Austin added a Clae-like design on the collar area. Is there anything bad to be said about this concept design?
