nike designers:

It's called a Swoosh not nike logo

Super sweet joke 🤣
Louis miller Lolololololololololololo
LMFAO
i feel like he went too harsh on the guy making the sneaker. i always feel bad for people who look innocent like that guy who get hated on. idk 🤷♀️

You mad disrespectful to the hands that prepared those shoes.
Complex over here paying Speedy to find another job!
Low-key tho LoL
because my favorite Food is *Pasta*
can't help but have that MuchDank video come into my head
*WHERE DAFUCK DID YOU FIND A STAPLEGUN?*
🅱asta
The Pasta 1's
Now let me offer this as a rebuttal
This man just told a LEGENDARY COBBLER to hurry up 🙄🤦🏿♂️
And retail price is too high it would probably go on sale for 39.99 at Ross
well now we know why a lot of shoe are shit/... take forever to break in and rotting away...
This shit is below Ross Quality. This shit is canal street knockoff bullshit.
Literally... for 155 you can buy some brand new OG Jordan Retro 1s...
Speedy looks like an early 90s Puerto Rican salsa singer
Bryan Ofwgkta factz
He look like *trouble*
your profile photo worries me...
Bryan Ofwgkta uhhhh no nigga u blind
The Peoples Elbow he so cute
This guy is so rude telling an OG SHOE MAKER to hurry up this damn shoe
I would have whupped his bony ass into the shape of that doggone shoe sole.
Yeah
Or maybe that's how he relates the unexpected amounts of effort it takes to what we non-shoe-designer can relate to. I'm coming from electronics and physics, but yeah, making a first prototype always takes longer than people not in the profession usually guess it would take.
He did it for the camera
scripted bro, most of it
This guy is so disrespectful to the guys and his ego is too big. They put effort into helping him and he was angry at them for not being able to finish.
Especially to the guy who made the sample like bruh dont be a Lil bitch
Facts wth he was rude
I kinda feel like they portray him to be like that. I could be wrong , but I think like off camera he was being cool with all them. I’d at least hope so.
@@plinytheyoungman9352 why the fuck would they do that?
Lenon Lim ignorant fuck.
Couldn't they get a more humble kid to host this show? I don't understand the free passes some people get. The wrong people get pushed into the spotlight! disappointing. Don't EVER disrespect an OG.
Gabyrow I thought the same thing. For content purposes they sacrificed authenticity and further pushed the narrative that all u have to do for ur shot in America is be able to sell; actual talent is a back burner quality.
@@blankmandastankman they not type of humble people..... interneet video people....ego higher that reality
Speedy looking like a 14yr old Puerto Rican on his first day of school
splvshgxrdon why would a 14 year old not have gone to school already lol.
Brendon O very good question explain sir...
😂😂😂
Brendon O you have a first day every year
That is so true🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
The two ladies did not believe the hype on Speedy being a sneaker designer. LMAO
cause they know the real ones.
Anthony P pasta... really nigga?
Haha ha
True designers can sit and do this for hours and not get tired; definitely a dream gig! Nice episode!
yep, when I was a teen I would draw dozens nonstop, direct to ink, had hundreds of designs, brand names and logos plus imagined some technologies, but knew that I would never realize that dream cause I lived in a shit-hole country
@@gerher9416 man you can still make it
@@gerher9416 It’s never too late
Speedy acting like an uninterested 1st grader and has overall ruined every clip hes been in. You can already tell he has a short shelf life if he doesn't mature quickly.
Honestly it's not hard to design for adidas put some boost on it and the hypebeast will show
you take a right triangle, make the base the hypotenuse, add some color, boost, and a heel tab youre good
Just put a supreme logo on it aswell and you’ll be set for life
daetsmlolliw the only people in the world that need to know the Pythagorean Theorem are Adidas designers
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 as a person who doesnt hate Adidas but isnt into it i find this comment hilarious
Same with nikes just do whatevs like jordans random shit that you can later make different color combination and boom the logo
Those look like some 2k generics💀😂
J Fox OMG THEY DO LOL
U just made my day😂😂
Bruhhh , u right tho
That's disrespect to Generics
FACTS
He’s so much like a kid when it comes to his behavior and attitude and how he designed and explained his design of his sneakers in this video
them sm1 of his🤮🤢
cool vid concept complex but this dude is a CHUMP
Pretty hands off, would have liked to see him actually taking a stab at learning the craft skills. Even the rendering process he brushed aside as "boring" which must have been insulting to the poor girl who had to "finish it for him." Then the strolling in the morning attitude expecting a finished sample product overnight was kind of insulting too. The design looks decent but I wonder how much he even contributed to that initial sketch. The pitch was probably the only thing genuine... and that was a little whack
chrisnuggets agreed, youngster comes in with a bland design in all honesty and mocks the highly skilled craft people. I would put this kid in his place! Was that the presentation he spent all night on? Yikes that should be his strong suit.
chrisnuggets this vid was great just wish they had a different person do it. This guy was kind of an ass
chrisnuggets I have designed several shoes! I love to draw and I’d love the girls job on the screen actually making a picture come to life!! That’s were I’d like to be and have my shoe made
Agreed super ungrateful guy I would have fucked his shoe up rushing me
He was rude
His presentation sounded like some shit you'd put together in middle school
I'm in middle school and I make better presentations than him.
THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO DO WHEN I WAS A KID/EARLY TEEN, now I'm doing architecture, but I wanna get into this
J. Spiivey you are very wise
U can use your skills in architecture on designing sneakers and streetwear
Sarah Da I am 13 and I am looking at architecture as a possible career path. Any design-related jobs like car, clothing, or housing design get me exited. I am very artsy and I plan to take a CAD class in high school.
This is fantastic! Finding out about shoe design (I myself know nothing) by interviewing the experts, at a school on the subject, and doing it yourself! If you fall a bit short of winning any international design awards, it's okay, since it's the tour of what's involved, a peek at the process, that matters to us outsiders. You did a magnificent job inviting us in and taking us along for the ride.
I just found my dream school
Cramped Jag I think me too lets apply together ? I'm actually living in Italy !
SAUVAGE RIE im living close to you, croatia xD
Same
Deutschland
Ok we are 3 let's create ;)
The shoe itself was alright but the inspiration and the presentation was absolutely terrible!
SkiiLz dafuq he didn't put this video together, he was merely a host of the video. It's a complex video.
Aaron D you peice of crap. This is a fun video he doesn't expect douchebags in his comments
Sidêways Raînbôw Beanîe Bôi He was only giving criticism you idiot.
The Gaming Caden no, no, no. You don't get it. This is a fun video, he/she is simply being a party pooper.
Sidêways Raînbôw Beanîe Bôi Fun video or not, everyone is entitled to voice their opinion.
Forget fire shoes, *PASTA* shoes are the new thing!
His shoes look like 2k generics
They got their own sweatshop sweet
lol
lmfao
😂. Lol. Come on though we all learnt something.
ThatFlyGuy a
Correction: "They got their own sweatshop, sweet!" Said ThatFlyGuy
Stick a supreme label on it and u will have a good retirement
Pastensed supreme isnt really that expensive. The shirts retail for about $35 so they arent making much profit after that. Resale kills it because thats expensive
mhmm
Enigma Scientist a fucking supreme hoodie costs 5k a jacket 10k Jordan 5 supreme 900bucks stickers 5 bucks t shirt 200 where did u get 35 from
Pastensed yep
You are quoting resale not direct from Supreme. They don't get any of that money
I wish the curse words were bleeped out or removed! I’d love to show this to my elementary art students as an intro to a sneaker design project, but can’t because of the few curse words 😢
Touched by your comment, I wanted to suggest editing the video to add in the bleeps. I’ve been able to do basic edits to clips I’ve found online using apps on my phone and just a bit of free time. Maybe it’s doable for you? Best to you and your students!
I look forward to more episodes in this series! Definitely a winner for me.
I’m so glad this video came out because this is the job I’ve been wanting to do since 6th grade!
I live in st johns, by that bridge in the beginning of the video, and this helped me get an internship
wow, he was so disrespectful with the OG tho, like they're takin tim'a help him and he's angry because the shoe isn't finished. Like the OG spent his night at it to help him he should be really thankfull for that
Sliding into them dm's starter pack 4:04
YUURRRRR
sick vid and series idea. Shining the light on the creative side of the industries that embody our culture
I'm fixin' to do the same thing.
Marco Gallo I'm getting sick of this culture more than I like it.
@@Pernection 🤨
I think you should sit down with your barber and design a hairline that isn’t pushed all the way back
Kev F coming from someone that looks like he? is wearing makeup in his? Profile pic
Bouncy Burrito lmao you made him change it that’s tuff
S山工S卄丹メ oopss😂
Bouncy Burrito lel, I should be sleeping right now what am I doing, oh wait I forgot porn.
Kev F hahaha
there's a skechers box on that wall display, this space has been cursed
I really liked this episode! :-) Thanks for sharing!
Speedy look like that high school basketball player Julian Newman
JahVero that’s so true 😂
Was about to say that 😂
JahVero Nah Julian Newman look like this dude. Julian younger so this dude can't look like him , its the other way around.
I was looking for this 😂😂
Except a foot taller. Newman like 5’2 haha
Nigga made FUBUs
sebass ooh
lmao im dead
😂😂😂😂
They look like those busted up And1s you find at Target
😂😂😂😂
This video is amazing! You are educating young people all over this world about this sneaker industry. I the point that was made on the lack of people that look like the two of you will encourage little black and brown/mix kids to pursue a career in this industry. Great job
Proud to be from Inglewood and love the arts. Great vid and inspiration to the city.
Omg now i want to be a shoe designer
Kavin faridafshar do it bro!
Truesneakers23 lmao
Kavin faridafshar m
First you have to survive the C4 that's strapped to your torso
This is super dope good job speedy and complex
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PEOPLE. Do'ers, not talkers!
All the best to Dwayne Edwards & Pensole Academy!
This is fantastic!!! should do more of this videos
It looks like if a jordan and eqt 93/17 had a baby
Kendal Harman right?
Kendal Harman I
Damn right
FreakyHeat lol true
FreakyHeat but the eqt sole has like a cut on the back,like an extra sole,if u get what i mean
Shits look like and 1's
bro I love this. I make designs of sneakers, but obviously can’t sell them lol
elise g why not?
I don’t really think you should worry about the design so much, you should learn to make them. Everyone is the “designer” be the guy who made them, that’s the hardest part
This show is so good, love it
One of the best vids I've seen on this channel. 🤘🤘
Most people don't know how difficult it is to present art and design. If you don't got the sauce while you're talking to your peers they'll notice that. When they notice that your chances of them taking that design seriously are slim to none. Props to speedy for having the confidence to approach the project, most wouldn't be able to come up with a sentence.
Jamie Brown bb
Eustace is my shoe making teacher. He is so knowledgeable
This was really good . Should do more of this and fashion designing as well
This video was sick 👍
Speedy one funny ass nigga Bruh 😂😂😂😂
Whoever designed the Jordan 14-31 must’ve been high
I’m kidding
no wonder why it brick.....
Pray this prayer from the bottom of your heart out loud to be saved
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I repent of my sins. I will worship you all the days of my life.I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.I receive it and Believe it in
Jesus Powerful Name, AMEN.
Thanks for the interesting video. I love sneakers and a passion for design. Although this one from 2017 but it still attracted me.
one of the best videos ive seen. good content
I really don’t like him, he’s so rude. If they had someone else I’d love this so much. Still a cool vid, just needs better casting on his part
Dude this was awesome 👏 thank you 🙏
We need more of this 👏🏿
actually not bad i love episodes like this
Damn that was a fire video! I would actually rock the SM1
That was so cool. I actually wanted to make a shoe but after watching this video I realised that this is harder than I thought it would be.
That's amazing what they do, awesome Pensole!
Cool series
Lol 8:56 he has the Pythagorean theorem
Lmao dude a fool
Bruce Deal 😂 oh yaaaaaaaaa
Pythagoras’ * and my teacher says I’m not sure why but c^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2) (just different way to set it out I think but I don’t have the squared number do I have the brackets and that).
Shoe Design: not for idiots!
I Hate SaBr LiGHT Pythagorean theorem
Pythagorus is his name
Those were low key fire 🔥 I would rock those
Man that looks awesome I want to go do that all day and night 🤘🏼
I been known about pensole for time now, just wish they were located in other places like London
They seem to have something going on in Denmark, if that's close enough.
Well london has no shoe game compared to portland, atlanta, los angeles etc.
This video is, of course, more about a look at the path into a certain profession, than about product design itself. But it does show a common flaw in the creative process of those starting to gain experience with it.
A favorite food is a fine notion to start with for a design idea. A precious stone or mineral or natural object is a fine starting point. But, the design concept has to be laser-focused on one idea only, and maybe only certain aspects of it, and celebrate it to the max with material, shape, color and everything else. Combining things is really tricky.
Reminds me of when I tried writing anything back in high school. I wanted to mention this, and that, and work in something about planets and music and maybe a short rant about whatever and what I liked about springtime and math... no laser focus! It was only after I wrote many articles, answers to questions, technical reports etc that I "got" it and could write straight to the point. Usually. A local writers' group is helping me see how I fall short of laser focus.
The song "My Favorite Things" by Rodgers & Hammerstein (1959) is sort of weird in that it mentions all kinds of different things, a hodge podge of variety we imagine someone wanted to work into a song. But step back, it's actually a coherent laser-focused song - it's just one level of abstraction higher. It's totally about having a bunch of favorite things and how that benefits one's life.
So, could a shoe convey something about the designer's favorite food, and also birthstone, and more favorite things? Sure, but only with a coherent vision of combining them, presenting them, in a "list" or "biography" in some sense, at a higher level of abstraction. Like how an atlas presents many wildly different countries in a single coherent work.
Then again, I just might be rambling on and on, and overthinking, due to the fine glass of wine I just had with dinner.
thoroughly enjoyed this comment, focus is CRUCIAL
I love this segment
I am a footwear designer. True designers never look at their watch. Time just flies, actually, for me time doesn't exist. I work 24/7/365. My working hours lapse into sleeping hours and then back to working and so on, with my meals in between. I keep a bed right next to my design table. Creative designing is in your blood, or it's not.
Speedy Morman is the man, could hear and watch this guy the hole day long😂😂😂💪🏼keep up the hard work
*hole*
I used to draw when I was younger. This video made me think of that talent that I used to have. If only I could be there. Even if I have to start as a janitor just to work for them and eventually give me my time to design for a sneaker. What a great feeling this is I'm feeling right now while watching this. My heart is literally pounding.
Ok..
This ain’t Nintendo. Nobody is letting their janitor design.
@@Thor-Orion I doesn't matter because just looking at pros working and then trying to replicate is a very good attitude to learn.
@@ginopillon I know, it’s just a joke.
I’m about to apply! I can draw anything and have a large design background so I got the skills to do this
Go for it bro, chase that goal God bless you.
Cool video! And not a bad first attempt on a sneaker! 👌🏽
Yo what a great video
The way he was like “yurrrrrrr” 😭😭😭😭😭😭4:04
This exactly what i really want to do to design basketball shoe .🙏
I have so many dream jobs and this is one of em
Yurrr. No Yurrr should go unanswered
I wonder how much it would cost to go there and make your own shoe
Hyped Beast It costs anywhere from 9,000 - 15,000 for tuition.
m also doing shoe designing its my last semester
i was very stuck about my project but you are such a inspiration for me
and you make my way easy thanks alot sir

Those shoes were FIRE!!!
Gotta love how this guy can design and make shoes and he's just wearing these worn out insanely casual shoes. 7:00
“I need to keep up my energy” -shoots ball in hoop
Love your work and the video -- I'd love to show this to my middle school math students during class as a real-life example of how large projects take multiple steps, collaboration, effort, and presentation skills (multiple aspects/skills learned in a math class). Could you please repost a video sans the profanity so I can share it with my class?
I've got a new respect for Speedy.
Enrolling Today. 😂
I wish I could work with Under Armour because they need better designers they garbage
Shin Animates They are made for performance.
don't wish. make it happen
Do it bruh.
I like that resumè
They shoes aren't their strong point. Remember nike never used to make shirts, shorts, etc. Under Armor is the opposite. If nike hadn't been stupid and had bought Under Armor, they would have some dope shoes.
His design is dope 👌 I like it a lot fr fr
Very cool video! Keep it up!
bro that’s some “graphic design is my passion” presentation right there LOL
“YEEERRRRR” lmao
Amazing episode.
bro those are lowkey bangers
