The winner if HookorSink.com’s first every contest is Jonathan! His shoe name of “Sync” and a slogan “Because life has a rhythm” was a great idea and caught the attention of my wife. She’s the demographic that would buy this shoe and much more unbiased than I am!
Congratulations to all who submitted their ideas. The input far exceeded any expectations for this contest and you should all be proud to know such talented people. Congratulate the winner but also take a moment to enjoy some of the lesser known awards handed out:
Most Outstanding Product Name & Slogan
Sync
Because life has a rhythm
This is a great concept and really dials into the hot trends of mp3′s and urban attire. Side rant – It’s worth pointing out that Nike+ doesn’t work for runners that sweat on the iPod. Come again?
Most Likely to be Used by Nike
Crius- very cool use of Greek methology. Except the dude wasn’t a main character. Who wants to buy a shoe about someone sitting on the bench?
Most Unoriginal Idea
“Kickers” and “Kicker” submitted by Same White and David. It was cool once but very uncool twice.
Most Likely to get HookorSink.com Sued
SHOOZAM! for copyright infringement. Great idea but HookorSink.com doesn’t have deep enough legal pockets to go to battle on that one.
Best Product for Shoe-Wearers Under 4 years Old
Snap – What parent wouldn’t want sneakers that kids could snap on? Works well with kid-leashes.
Soon to be in a Rap Video
Tie between “Tone Locs” and “Azzphaltz”. Would it be pretentious to just call them “Bling”?
Most likely to have edible shoelaces
“O-Sole ‘O’ Me-o” – Shoes come with Parmessian cheese.
Caught Red-Handed Award
Lew submitted ‘TBX’. Very cool idea but not mine. Lew Sr. crept into the party and tried to score some of his sons cash.
Most Likely to be Worn by Nathan
Rain Walker – flurry, fall, flood with style. It doesn’t have to be raining for that dude to flood.
