Cubby Golden

I had the pleasure to meet and speak with Cubby briefly while attending PENSOLE.  If you haven't heard of Cubby Golden, he's a former running designer for Nike.  His biggest design was the Nike LunarGlide 2 while there.  I just read his inspiring story about being a footwear designer and what it takes to be successful.  Any young, aspiring designers out there you WANT to tune in and listen to every word he's speaking.  Click the link below to read up!

The Adidas D Rose 4

Adidas' Basketball Footwear Manager Jack Gray sat down with Sole Collector to discuss some of the technology and aesthetic inspirations for Derrick Rose's come back shoe, the D Rose 4.  I really love the direction of this shoe and especially the story behind it's two-tone exterior...makes perfect sense.  I'm just excited to see how well Derrick Rose actually performs in them.  Click the link to read the full story.
